GAH?! I reported this as a bug and it was listed as "resolved " :( Wonder what else isn't fixed then :(:(:(:(:(
Sorry.. I'm trying to be positive, but this was the BIGGEST problem I had with Poser 8. Why'd anyone go BREAK it in the first place? It worked fine in previous versions :(
Hm. Oh well.. When I get home from work I'll have to see if that's the only thung that remains to be fixed or what. Shouldn't be too hard to fix that decimal point once should think.. so.. an SR 1.2?
Has the Material Room sluggishness been solved?
Material room is now fast.
The decimal point/comma feature was not "broken", in the sense that they took the feature away. The entire GUI system was changed to wxWindows. Every single GUI object was written over again. Even the ones that look exactly the same as the old Poser are actually brand new.
P8 was not a mild update to the GUI, wrapping some docking around the existing components. It was a complete, 100% re-build of the GUI. If you're not a programmer, it may be difficult to understand what a monumental undertaking that is.
Given the pile of problem reports with the new GUI, and the limited amount of engineering time available to SM (who must operate with a very small number of engineers in order to stay profitable - we are an expensive resource) they have to prioritize. I don't know why/if the problem was reported resolved, but actually not resolved. I only know in general there were crashes due to GUI component problems. Those had to be fixed right now. The "merely annoying" problems are below all the crashes and other types of problems that prevent the program from being used. Those get fixed first.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
