OTOY Forums

When I normally try to use the Octane DB from within Blender I open it up, but then whenever I 'right-click' to import the material - it's menu just flashes (it closes as quickly as it opened)
I randomly click on the material dozens of times before the menu maintains it's 'open' state long enough for me to click 'import'. There does not seem to be a coherent pattern, sometimes I have to right-click 100's of times.
I have been encountering this issues since the initial release of PR1

I prepared a screen recording:

Hello Izzy,

I had the same issue.

First, when trying to open the Local DB, the widget would be hidden behind the app. Press the Live DB tab and this should bring it forward.

When trying to import my saved Materials, nothing happened either. I rebooted and it started working.

Hi Berube, thanks for the reply.
I've done that many times, with no change in behaviour.
It has started crashing more often now when I trying to open the window (both blender and the octane server), after each crash (for a while) it will just say that it has failed to connect when I try to test it again.

I am going to try and install this on my friends Mac this week and see if it's just my system. Will update as soon as I can consistently replicate this or have it resolved.
