Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you liked the program. The newer versions also have new features like more colors and pieces so I'll try to fix the issues you found.
The keyboard shortcuts not being saved is just me making a dialog that's not very intuitive. You have to save the shortcuts to a file using the button in the keyboard tab and they will be there next time you start the program but there's no message telling you to do that. Actually the entire Preferences dialog is confusing, some options are saved per file and others are global, which is not good design. I was undecided about the best way to save the view layout so I ended up not saving it at all, I'm still not sure if it's better to have it saved per project or globally. I like saving it globally more but then the camera positions won't make much sense when loading different files. As for the mirror problem, I think I couldn't find a good solution because I was trying to make a generic mirror that would work on any direction/offset. If I were to try it again I'd just have a function to mirror on only 1 of the X/Y/Z planes, probably using the new mouse arrows from the last version. I'll look into these bugs and see what I can get fixed for the next version. On Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 11:36 PM, Andrew <[email protected]> wrote: > I love this program!
