I'm being facetious here in some of my comments because the constant updates is just putting a band aide on a Horse with a festering wound that needs time to be healed properly before sending it out to the races.
The Effects Slider and Spinner has unexpected results on this slider as well as a few others throughout the GUI.. (Video Shown Here)
For all the additional strengths added to iClone6, it's the simple crap that's killing it when it comes to user interface.
Why must something be broken to fix another area? ... is the question I keep asking myself.
The Bone Opacity Slider, for instance, was working in the 1st release as expected, where I could roll it up one click and have the opacity go to ZERO, and now it is broken again in the latest 6.2 update... I mean, who needs giant bones to select body parts when a figure diagram to choose the bones is opened anyway when doing Motion Layer edits?
Whatever happened to simple logic?The retention of presets for viewing content when opening iClone such as, by Date Modified, was working in the original release, and now it is no longer functioning. I am working on something "Today", so that is the order I prefer my library to be retained in when I close and reopen iClone, not by name!!!
Now every time I open iClone6, I have to once again, as in iClone5, reset the order of things so I don't have to search for the latest items.
The search function as explained below is also broken.
The redundant listing of the items in two columns is totally unnecessary, and makes no sense of finding items. Why do I need two listings of the same directories? Give me the old listing setup any day, at least it worked.
The search feature for one, should retain the "SEARCH" text desired without having to key it in at every (redundant) directory or library change, even if it is only during each session, which it does not. You have to either copy the text to the clipboard and paste it again and again when searching, which seems a bit disorganized.
Why not just a Single Root and Sub-directory search for either Default or Custom items with a listing that pops up and says "Oh here it is" Click on the item desired? It could be added as a tab perhaps..
How about we fix everything without breaking other working parts, then release it?
Measure twice - cut once. I learned that little lesson in Wood Shop and it still applies.
Another Lesson was:
"If you have time to do it twice, you had time to do it right the 1st time".
