whbos "#6 ...When placing figures inside of props, a way to keep the prop from totally obscuring everything that is placed within it... " - Use the camera's Hither dial - clumsy to adjust precisely, but it works. To problems needing fixing, most have been covered, but some of the P5 and earlier ones have not: - Update the delete confirmation dialog to list the actual item which is to be deleted. - Fix the focus problem by elimination - multiple independent windows in an application work on MacOS and OSX, but do not on Windows (where it incurs the Windozes overhead of task switching), so don't use it. No amount of tweaking will cover up the fact that P5/P6 are slower and less responsive in terms of parameter dial adjustment than P4. And good parameter dial adjustment is central to Poser. - Update the whole Mac-to-Windows cross-compile interface code so that it uses current Windows APIs not the venerable out-dated no-longer-supported legacy ones. - Either fix the memory usage (more efficient data structures, load lesser-used segments - e.g. face room - only when needed, etc.) and/or implement a proper memory manager, a la Adobe, etc. Either way, stop Poser mindlessly going over the 2GB limit. - Actually do what the past and current CEO's have promised with P5 and then, amidst apologies for the P5 debacle, again with P6: and actually FIX THE BUGS FROM PREVIOUS RELEASES! Sorry, but fixing just 1 doesn't count as mission accomplished, it needs to be the majority, or something close to it.
