Final trueSpace 7.61 Beta 8 Unofficial Update

How so? Arrow keys aren't mentioned in the description above.

Your keyboard Arrow keys. Not having to use the Ctrl key frees up being able to use the arrow keys.

Still not getting it. How does ctrl keys stop the use of arrow keys?

One less key to use!
More importantly your Zoom to Selection is by far the best part of your Look at Selection script!
Why not make it easier to use?
tS7 already has a Look at Selection icon with One mouse button click.
I use it for Point Editing all of the time and is fantastic! No harm in at least trying, Right?

...
New- 4View layout has unique WinGUID toolbars for all four views. No prototype for ortho views.
...

What does this do that not so unique winGUID doesn't do?

The Perspective view's (which is the same window in all of the updated layouts (same WinID)) WinGUID Bar toolbar uses it's Window Frame's WinID and has a prototype.
The Top view's WinGUID Bar toolbar uses it's Window Frame's WinID and does not have a prototype. No Reset.
The Front view's WinGUID Bar toolbar uses it's Window Frame's WinID and does not have a prototype. No Reset.
The Left view's WinGUID Bar toolbar uses it's Window Frame's WinID and does not have a prototype. No Reset.

I'll take a wild guess. Is it that you keep pressing the arrow keys by accident when trying to press the control key? Still don't know what arrow keys have to do with it. Give me some steps so I can see the benefit, otherwise it just looks like change for the sake of change. Maybe it doesn't make any difference, maybe it make it better, maybe it makes it worse, hard to test if I don't know what to do.

Left hand. Two fingers on the Left arrow and Right arrow keyboard keys to select objects.
Right hand. One finger on the mouse's MMB to Zoom to.
When you are zoomed in to an object, it is not easy to select a different object in the view.

What does this do that not so unique winGUID doesn't do?

Each View's Frame has different WinIDs. Each View's toolbar uses its Frame's WinID in the commands.
Meaning the view does not have to be in focus. It only works in that view. Period!
Here is the commands for the New View window's toolbar for an example:

Code: Select all

//		{653BCA02-BC52-4FAD-AD04-6BC2AD9B25B7}

function Execute(params)
{
//  WinGUID_Bar - New View command
WindowsManager.CloseWindow("/Project/Windows Manager Space/New View");RsFileIO.LoadObject(System.GetMainDir() + '\\scripts\\preobjects\\New View.RsObj', "/Project/Windows Manager Space");Node.Value("/Project/Windows Manager Space/New View", "WinID") = "{653BCA02-BC52-4FAD-AD04-6BC2AD9B25B7}";WindowsManager.Activate();WindowsManager.UpdateWindowsStructure();

RsFileIO.LoadObject(System.GetMainDir() + '\\Scripts\\preobjects\\NewViewBar.RsObj', WinID);
WindowsManager.ActivateFrame(WinID);

A prototype is a saved toolbar in the Toolbar Prototypes Encapsulator.
I did not save prototypes for the ortho view's toolbars, by design, so there is no Reset. They are saved with the Layout.

New - Camera FOV widget
RMB click in 3D Space resets all view's FOV to 0.500 and scene Camera to 1.000
...

Don't see it.
RMB click in 3D view, nothing.
Open new 3D view RMB click, nothing.
Select camera, RMB click on it, nothing.

Thanks! Lots of time to create these unique toobars.
