Thorsten - I tried the beta today and immediately notice one
long-standing problem has been fixed - the "recent files" sub-menu
now has the most recent at the top! The full filepath is still shown,
which makes it hard to read the filename when pathnames are different
lengths. Would it be possible to have the display or not of full
pathnames as a preference?

Alas, I also found one problem.

To switch between the 4 different selection modes (freehand,
junction, centre/end and automatic) I can as usual hit the tab key.
But if I wish to cycle through the choices in the opposite order by
using shift-tab, that does not work properly and is not consistent
across all tools.

For instance, with the trim tool, if I have auto selected, shift-tab
will correctly cycle through centre/end, junction, freehand. But if I
have freehand already selected, it just cycles between freehand and
junction without incuding the other choices at all.

In comparison, with the line tool, if I have auto selected, shift-tab
will cycle incorrectly through freehand, junction, centre/end - in
other words shift-tab works the same as tab.

I haven't investigated other tools but I'm sure you can find the
problem from this limited exploration of the symptoms - if not please
tell me what tests I should do.

Hello Rowland,

The ellipse is currently a special element. It is currently not supported in
for that functions.

Hi Thorsten and all;

The new Beta.dmg mounts perfectly on Tiger - 10.4.11 (on an old G3 at 400 MHz.)

Regards,
Kevin



Same here. Does not mount on Snow Leopard. -Chuck-
