we have, on our list for 2.2, an application config file, that retains device manager and global obj import prefs, texture and obj file working paths, and a list of last projects opened.

Woohoo! This is great! Linux version running well here. I would like to get some testing done though for multiple display monitors on linux. Can that be put on the list ( of course get MLT and displacement first, unless it is something simple)? Currently, Octane will crash on a multiple monitor rig as soon as you click on the OBJ node (Linux version - no idea if this is so on other OS versions).

hey,

if you place everything in the same directory, eg all OBJ/MTL and textures and OCS file, they will read fine.
when loading the OCS, if it can't find the linked textures or obj files, it will look in the same directory as the OCS file first, before asking.
(this is new in 2.1)

this is how the demosuite ocs files work, and they can be opened from any location.

oh hey - it works. Great stuff.

One bug I noticed: double clicking files to open them from the desktop only works if the application isn't launched. If it's open already, nothing happens.

yeah, this is something mac specific that we still need to iron out.

I'm thinking of changing the document icon a little to make it a bit sleeker. It's a little subdued I find, after seeing it some more. When are you looking to release a non-beta to the public? This thing's already less buggy than Maya 2011 - zing.

not sure, we're working on the multi-gpu, we have change the strategy a bit, it's quite a bit of work.
i also want to make sure the next update fixes most of the remaining bugs.

if things look good, probably friday, otherwise maybe saturday.

it will be the multi-gpu capable release candidate.
we're still far off for 1.0 final, after multi-gpu comes MLT, then collada/RIB and instances.
