  1. Switching between runtimes is tedious. Have I missed some hotkey? The only way I found is to click all the way up the hierarchy and then click down into another runtime. Hard to believe that it is done like this on purpose.

There's a drop down some where at the top of the library...I always forget about it though.

Really??? I missed it all these years? Where? I have been clicking on everything near the top of the library, but I can't find it. Could you try and tell me where it is and I will take back everything bad I have been thinking about EF.

  1. library items save with the preview, not with the last render. Arrgh. If you add transmapped hair, you can never see the thing in the preview.

Have tried having smooth shading on in the preview?

Well yes, but then the hair turns to helmets. It is a really silly feature, but the community has learned to live with it. (Like 1 level undo.)

You mean the external ones?  Yeah, I don't like like.  I tend to just save the figure in a new file to keep track of them.

The new binary morphs are a step in the right direction, but still half hearted. The morph data must live with the obj, the figures should just contain the dial values. The current system assures incredible duplication of data.

The new binary morphs hardwire the location of the pmd file into the cr2 file, so then you can't move the files around any more.

I manually move everything into the places where I want them. I have my own library organisation like you described in your first post. It gets quite deeply nested otherwise you never find anything again.

  Yeah the whole moving things around sucks a bit afterward.  But that's why hogwarden is god.

But EF are cutting their own flesh by making it difficult. From which version did people spend more on the content than on the core program? P4 or P3?
