iloco; "quote: (b) The 'encryption' is not some draconian scheme to keep anyone from exporting a scene; it is nothing more than an automation of the registration code scheme. File exporting is broken due to problems introduced in the 5.08 patches If that be true then I am still having problems with exporting even with the install of the rolled back update today. You say scene and not object. Is that what you ment. To not get confused I am talking about not being able to export objects I once could export." As far as I know, once things are repaired, you -will- be able to export those items you used to. Don't expect the rollback to fix the problem currently there; I haven't heard of anyone who has succeeded in that, short of a reinstall and updating to 5.07. There was some kind of corruption in the rollback files; it seems to work, but some of the trouble is still there (namely locked exporting). As for wabe.... Well, of course we think differently. I'm Windows. He's Mac. (rimshot). :P
