I uninstalled Fruit Menu to see if it was the source of my crashes, but
now after using contextual menu to change color of a brick, mouse clicks
register about 30 pixels to low. When I click on a brick, I wind up
selecting the brick two bricks down, if there is one, or nothing if
there isn¹t a brick two bricks down.
Pressing "command d" in save dialogue box still unsuccessfully tries to
issue the ³Duplicate² command from the ³Edit² menu. Issuing key
combination "shift command H" does jump to home directory. I didn't know
if I should mention this since I mentioned it before. I thought I should
just in case you thought that you fixed it.
Initial selection of LDRAW folder simply says ³...choose a folder². The
text should be more descriptive. Maybe ³Locate LDRAW folder²? Also,
after choosing an LDRAW folder I was dumped to an untitled empty window.
I quit program before testing for a crash (I assumed it would) sorry.
Thanks for making ldraw viewer ResEdit-able. I added my own keyboard
commands for the "Orientation" and "Select part name..." commands :)
I have noticed some strange artifacts when rotating a model using the
mouse. Bricks sometime appear larger or the wrong shape. On one
occainsion I saw a large black and gray artifact that did not appear to
be related to any brick. If pictures would be helpful, let me know, and
I will put them on my site.
Please do something about the inserting a brick on top of another brick
way of adding a brick. Either jumping the part to the top of the
previous brick or listing the parts somewhere (as in LDGLite/edit mode
for example) would let idiots like me know what is going on. Here is
what just happened to me, and I know that bricks are added on top of
other bricks...
I'll sign off here, read about my idiot adventure if you want to...

Looked fine, but there are two parts in the same position.
Oh, I duplicated the brick that was rotated out of the plane without

because there were two bricks on top of each other.
