Good work fused, as usual lightning fast

I'll have a proper look at this during the weekend, I just set up my new AMD Phenom II X4 945 (95w) with 4x3Ghz, so some testing will come anyway

[zeitmeister]

Erm,
I can only choose "render with Indigo"... and the scene is exportetd as "quickrender.igs" somewhere to the program package structure.
Am I not able to export my scene where I want to anymore?

[Zom-B]

You can specify a path in the export settings, first setting there
Since you nearly always export your scene to the same path, this one saves some clicks during export!

[zeitmeister]

Ah, didn't discover this yet... great!
Another question: is it possible to specify the *.igi output path, too? Or can it be automatically be saved in the same place like the *.igs? That would make much sense in my opinion...

[fused]

no, but the next version will feature exactly this. either standard path (renders), custom path for png, exr and igi or the scene export path (only if its not exported to the quickrender).

[zeitmeister]

Very cool!

Hey fused,

why can't you provide a 64bit-version (R10.5 & R11, Mac) of Cindigo?
Is it because of XCode or any lacking information of Apple? Or a missing 64bit-Mac? Could I or anyone help you out in any way?
I am not fronting you, please don't get me wrong!
I am just wondering about that, because I read it in Albert's review...

[fused]

heh, there is a much simpler explanation for it: i has just never crossed my mind that i could make a 64bit build of the mac version

i would have to move the minimum requirements from R10 to R10.5 tho.
(i dont have a mac at home and cant make 6 different builds like for the pc version, because i have to make them at work)

[Rafaello]

Hi fused, great work as allways, just one thing, when I launch the preview Indigo's window opens instead of Indigo console, can you check it?

[PureSpider]

Did you read the changelog? fused is already aware of this but thx for reporting anyway!

* previews will always launch in the indigo GUI (temporary)

[Rafaello]

oops! sorry I didn't notice the changelog

[pixie]

Imagine you have thousand of instances in box mode, but each time you select one of those it would change to object mode... just imagine

[fused]

hmmm, sounds like a cool idea

might implement it!
