Thanks!

YES! one of my 4 screens was off and it decided to hide there! Sneaky, sneaky!

I tried restarting DS several times and flushed the RAM, but no luck.
I'll cold boot my PC and see if that solves it, but I think it's file corruption.
The viewport works and renders as expected.
The DS Log shows no errors or warnings.
Clean installing next.
as for the main pane not showing up - could it be that ds has mixed up the pane position to somewhere outside the screen? if so it will help to restore the workspace layout: main menu > window > workspace > ...
ps: the viewport position is controlled and saved/restored by the plugin itself, the main/nge panes are controlled by studio.

Awesome, I'll patiently wait, thank you!t_3 wrote:goodvortex3d wrote:YES! one of my 4 screens was off and it decided to hide there! Sneaky, sneaky! Thanks!

btw, i have identified the texture tab issue - must have been blind. will continue tomorrow and will most probably have a new update later the day - addressing: mat multiplying, tex tab crash, wiped out oc data, drag&drop mat tab node inspector updates, the active emitter inking, and 2 new functions also - one is an on/off/hide switch for materials... pretty useful to quickly hide surfaces without turning down opacity, as well as switching emitters on/off without altering power... be gone now

The on/off function is much needed!
That's sounds good!t_3 wrote:goodvortex3d wrote:YES! one of my 4 screens was off and it decided to hide there! Sneaky, sneaky! Thanks!

there was a problem with the recent folders selector because of long names, this was fixed with the last update, but i couldn't reproduce something similar for filenames; my test case is this one:AlfaseeD wrote:Have you addressed the problem I've reported (the name that not appear if the length of the string is > of a certain value) ?
ThisIsADummyTestImageWithAVeryLongNameAsYouCanSeeIfYouAreCarefullyLooking.png - use it already for a long time to get in particular correct size adjustment and "..." elided text for the selector filename display - it still saves and loads without problems.Wow, that's really convoluted, I wonder why that is a good ideat_3 wrote: its more a problem on the surface.
i.e. a bot genesis consists of close to 1000 material ids in total; around half of them will show up in the rendering, the other half needs to be skipped, as they mean surfaces replaced by grafted surfaces. in total there are 428 material pins rendering. when auto mats are created, it is guaranteed, that any of the 428 pins receive a material. but they now need to be mapped to 160 daz materials that visually represent the geometry surfaces, that will in the end also serve as link anchors for the oc <> ds mat link interface - and that is the point where things are going to mess up, as i'm not able to work out how to map them together correctly. so the ui only shows a fraction of what is handled internally, and that particular fraction might not contain all needed mappings, so replacing links later on won't affect all matching surfaces.
if i would present all 428 mat pins, it would probably work without problems, but i guess it also won't be much fun to edit such a number of material links...
