ies target mode wrong results

just played with the newest plugin version:
OctaneRender_for_3ds_Max_3.0_-_3.12

IES target mode does some strange things. sometimes it mirrors the direction in Y axes. can't really describe. see my very basic scene and play around with the target.
and very ANNOYING: the render updates only if I turn on/off the light. RELOAD BUTTON in OCTANE VIEWPORT does not update the light direction.

scene is max2015.

same problem for me, the only "trick" for make it work correctly is to set the ies light as movable proxy

Yes, this is a bug in a newly made targeted IES (only in non-movable-proxy mode). Thank you for report!
Will be fixed in next version...
