I really really wanted to like 4.5 and have it work for me. 4.0.3.9 has a lot of warts. But 4.5 just isn't ready.
Another annoyance, I just saw on another thread how if you have saves with figures with visibility turned off, you can't turn it back on if you load them in 4.5. Well, saving with invisible figures is standard practice for me. I was wondering what was up with that. I like to put multiple hairs on figures, drop them into a null, and turn their visibility off. Clothes too.
Really, the problem is that we can't install multiple versions of DS (except in an unsupported way, by having a 32-bit version of one release, and a 64-bit version of another). It's really a bad combination, what with DS not having any documentation, and with DAZ going with the "rapid dev" model and playing it pretty fast and loose with the updates and quality control.
I guess I'm going to have to wait at least until 4.5 is out of beta (maybe I should wait for "gamma" or something, because DAZ's betas feel like pre-alphas to me.
