Details

There is an issue where the pause button in POVWIN will sometimes not work during an animation (primarily where the frame rate is high), and furthermore, POVWIN can then get into a state where it’s not possible to use the pause until it is re-started.

Newsgroup report.

  • Field changed: Due in Version ( → 3.70 release)
  • Field changed: Percent Complete (0% → 90%)

The issue with unrecoverable state should be fixed as of RC7.

I have not yet addressed the pause button being hard to hit if the animation is hitting a few FPS; I’ve left this task at 90% due to this.
