to try to fix the bug that causes it to freeze or crash, and there
will likely be a new release soon. The problem is beyond my very
limited abilities, I am afraid.
So start the download and then go to the pub.
Yes, I have that sort of internet connection too...
I've been using your cootautoopener and have trouble with crosseye
stereo. using a ppc mac and a thin 20 inch diagonal screen, when i
expand to a larger viewing area, the stereo images are not the same
size. i can sometimes use a work around by quitting and re-starting
but this often doesn't work.
Hmm... I just noticed this yesterday. For me, the image on the right
distorts, squeezed or pulled out (depending on how I resize) but after a
few frames of rotation (rather than window resizing), it sorts itself
out to the correct image. (That is on FC4).
The auto-opener is just a wrapper for a shell script that starts coot
for you, so that is probably a red herring. Window resizing in the
context of Apple's X11 is a bit buggy.
More than likely than not that it is not their bug, in this case.
In my case, once I go into stereo mode, and then leave, I can no
longer make the window any smaller.
Oh dear. Even after revision 946? (I think this is related to the bug
that Ethan Merritt mentioned)
I saw what you describe on linux once, but not OS X. However, I've
seen other weird stuff on OS X that probably is due to the same bug.
I have not seen it on OS X either (not surprising :)
The safest work-around in this case is to start coot without the
auto-saved script, which will resize your window. Size the window so
that it is the desired size vertically and then 1/2 of the desired
size for stereo horizontally, and then switch into the stereo mode. It
should then do the right thing.
Yes...
If you save the state and then re-start in mono, the window will be
too large, so this is an irritation, but I can't think of a better way
to deal with it.
Not so, after the Ethan Merritt bug was fixed, is my thinking. ( Or is it?)
Further notes: I still haven't figured out hardware stereo on 10.5.
Unfortunately I don't own such a machine, so I can't do a whole lot.
Me neither, for the record. (And I have not yet managed to compile Coot
on my 10.5 machine, and I think that that is Apple's showstopper).
