Revision as of 00:53, 3 March 2005

Some first impressions and bugs I've collated from the forums, with links to relevant posts.

Contents

First Impressions

  • Top menu isn't liked much. Ideas: Perhaps make icons larger and zoom less on mouseover? Perhaps put a grey translucent curved rectangular box around the descriptions - sometimes over bright imagery it's hard to read the text.

Bugs

  • World Wind pauses for long intervals between downloading tiles at times. One has to zoom in and out etc to get it to trigger the downloading again. Perhaps a rendering loop is slowing things down?
  • Auth. proxy support not yet done. Also see this thread: Forums
  • It's not strictly a bug, but a converter for 1.2 --> 1.3 Cache is needed at some point in time.
  • installer needs to check for 700 megs available on the %TEMP% drive

Bugs that the users haven't found yet

  • Save Screenshot doesn't change extensions when you choose a different type.
  • Placefinder doesn't redraw properly when generating index's and in some other places.
  • bbox bug
  • transparency bug
  • remove dependency for windings2,3

Not Yet Bugs

  • "File or assembly name Microsoft.DirectX.DirectX3DX, or one of its dependencies, was not found" - DX_HELL returns! Llynix is certain he'll have this fixed shortly. (unconfirmed, one report from a guy who judging by the thread may very well be running an old alpha build)
  • Some installer dialogues show Italian when Dutch is selected. (I think it was in the correct language, just all messed up due to encoding issues.)

Conclusion

Overall a positive reaction I think. Well done everyone.
