Both my fault too! - Error report on engine load only shows in the info view, so no popups which complain to the user, infact the message should show in the info header but because its done on file load it doesn't, I marked it as a TODO in the code, so we have a nice case of a bug hiding a bug. IMHO its bad but not a showstopper (fixed in svn).
- Not loading bookmarks & recent file list is stupid, currently this is only done on load. This bug existed before the "Copy Previous Settings" operator was added it just that moving blenders configuration wasn't something users ended up doing much. My main aim was go get the files copied to the right locations & correctly check if copying was needed on all OS's & configurations, (self contained, system wide install etc). Calling WM_read_history() on file new looks like it should work. The bookmarks are not so simple since its called from ED_file_init which initializes file sel icons & thumbnail dir, of coure splitting it off into a function isn't hard, but I rather not do this as a last minute fix. For a quick solution on this it could just have a popup that says "restart blender for new settings". The drawback with this is it leaves blender splash with the "Copy Settings" button still there, as if nothing happened, the splash wont redraw without the button because of how its setup (draw call only runs once), the copy settings operator has no way to exit the splash or force a re-initialization - unless we add some api calls or operators to do so... ...so maybe users can just put up with this one time annoyances?, we probably get a huge number of more important reports so since this is only a glitch and doesn't stop the button being useful I'm inclined to just go ahead with the release. _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
