|
|
Well, the newest beta is looking very, very nice. I enjoy using it. Pierre, excellent work and I hope to keep using this app.
(rendered with art of illusion)
Here are some "ergonomic" bugs I would love to see fixed; I am using OpenGL with an nVidia FX5500:
-these areas flicker while resizing a box mesh: object list and axes display (xyz)
-open new window above ppmodeler (like notepad) and then minimize, leaves a huge white area in the ppmodeler window (graphics glitch?). Have to minimize/maximize ppmodeler again to fix this, or rotate the scene a bit.
-mouseover-ing on menu items causes flicker
-sometimes menus (like render menu, etc) will open "behind" the 3D canvas when clicked.
-any way to change the monospace font from courier to something else?
-dropdown boxes (like in Cfg --> Start) sometimes take more than one click to activate
-sometimes submenus (like export) disappear on mouseover, requiring a second mouseover.
Thanks! |

Hello,
thanks for your comments.
What is your operating system ? 95 ? 98 ? 2000 ? XP Home ? XP Prof ?
I don't have these problems, so I need more info in order to reproduce them.

Ok, will fix.

The submenu disapera when the mouse leave the current main menu item.
Will try to make it less sensible.

Great, thanks Pierre! I realize these are not major problems so I'm glad you can take the time to fix them. |

Can you download the latest beta (updated today, see this thread), and check for the flickering problems ? font problems ?
I have to fix the combo problem... will do this soon.
I also notice that the parameter area is not updated when moving a mesh.

Okay, I downloaded it and tested for a while:
Resizing box: Red FOV text (upper right-hand corner) flickers a tiny bit but that's it. Thanks for fixing the other parts!
White overlap problem: Still there, I guess it's difficult to track down.
Mouseover-ing on menu items causes flicker: Still there.
Sometimes menus (like render menu, etc) will open "behind" the 3D canvas when clicked: Still happens
Menus disappearing: Seems fixed, thank you! |

Sorry, I know you worked on it, but it is still flickering for me I don't have any other apps that do this (3D or not) so I'm at a loss as to what might be happening. Basically it's as if all the menu items refresh every time you roll over one menu item. I think this is where the flicker comes from.
I tried to make a video of it, but I guess because of the hardware acceleration it didn't show the flicker. It did show one menu opening behind the 3D canvas, but I guess you already know about that. |

No, video won't work.
I'm very surprised.
I have no flickering at all. I change the drawing function of menu, so that only the box around the selected item is redrawn. And it is working for me, no flickering a all.

Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 4:10 am Post subject: Crash apres rotation |
|
|
Bonjour pierre,
J'ecris en francais car ce sera plus precis, car mon anglais est ....pas terrible
Pour obtenir le crash:
1) demarre ppmodeler (mode 1 vue 3D)
2) selectionner NEW dans le menu
3) crash du logiciel
Le crash n'est pas repetitif.
Parfois il faut telecharger un objet (et ou) le faire tourner puis faire NEW dans le menu.
J'ai remarque que la fenetre SAVE IT n'apparait pas si l'objet vient juste d'etre charge dans ppmodeler, bien sur dans le cas ou je fais NEW dans le menu deroulant
J' ai egalement remarque des sautes d'images lors d'une rotation complete de l' objet ou de l'environement. Il faut faire tres doucement pour le voir. Mais ce n'est pas repetitif.....
Config
Portable ACER 1522
AMD 64 athlon
512 ram
Nvidia FX GO 5700 - 64 ram video
WIN XP pack 2
les dernier driver et patch windows
J'ai vue egalement des scintillements de l'interface qui sont "desagreable" a la longue. peut etre est-ce un probleme de synchro (rafraichissement) ?
Pourquoi tu n'as pas utilise les bouton et fenetre windows ? peut-etre est refaire la roue
Voila, si plus d'infos je suis dispo.

je vais voir pour new... ce n'est pas une fonction que j'utilise bien souvent, et il est fort possible qu'un bug se soit glisser dedans avec le temps....
pour les scintillement, dis moi ou ca apparait ?
tu le vois dans les menus ?
pour l'interface, un peu pour reinventer la roue, mais surtout pour avoir un truc portable....

Bonjour,
Pour les scintillement il suffit de d' utiliser les dropDown button du control panel.quand ils disparaissent on peut voir ces fameux scintillements. Si on ouvre et ferme et ainsi de suite on peut le voir. Certainement que les fenetres sont rafraichis si vite que l'ecran n'a pas le temps de reecrire la fenetre en entier. l'effet est plutot "genant". J'ai deja vue dans un logiciel 3D cad un procede qu'il appelait "interrup redraw" cela permet d'afficher le dessin dans son entier lorsque on le deplace ou le fait tourner et ce malgre un nombre tres important d'arretes sans pour cela ralentir le logiciel.
On peut voir egalement voir les fenetres du "control panel" scintiller a fond si on deplace le "manipulators" dans la fenetre de dessin.
La colone d'icones ne semble pas affectee par ce deplacement.
Je continu les tests, en esperant que tu trouves la soluce. merci

Il m'indique par une fleche jaune cette adresse que tu peux retrouver au-dessus dans le prog "disassembly"

Les valeurs suivantes accompagnent le bug
Unhandled exception in ppmodeler: 0xC0000005 : Acces violation
Context ppmodelre! 005e71a2()
Name: this
Value: Cxx0017: Error: symbol "this" not found
Voila j' espere que c'est une bonne piste
je continu les tests a plus
