Hi John,

I think you're creating a little confusion on the OSG list and forum at the moment. I've noticed the last few times you posted, it was as a reply to a thread, but your message didn't have anything to do with the thread you were replying to.

Many mail readers, and the forum (which is a mirror of the mailing list) use thread ID to put messages into threads. When you reply to a message, your message gets the same thread ID as the message you replied to, so it gets put into the same thread (as a reply, which makes sense) but your message doesn't relate at all to the message you were replying to, so the person who wrote the original message is confused about your reply.

Also people who were meant to see your message might not. For instance, some people only read the forum, and your message will not be a top-level post but a reply to another thread which they might not read.

So in the future I suggest you start a new thread (by writing a new mail) instead of replying to an existing thread. This should be just a few keystrokes more than replying, since your mail client most probably has the OSG mailing list address already memorized and will probably fill it in when you type "osg" in the To: field. But it will save a lot of confusion, and will ensure your post is seen by all.

Robert, this should probably be an FAQ, I've seen others do the same thing in the recent past. (do we have an FAQ for the mailing list? if not we should)

Thanks,

J-S

Hello,

Just ran across this in a CAD newsletter.

SimLab Composer: Apparently, this imports and exports OSG. Also, it seems to
import a lot of other file formats. So, it is theoretically, an authoring
tool suitable for OSG authoring and conversion. No experience on the
correctness of exports and scene building capabilities. Just noticing the
import and export features which are in the least expensive version.
