I'm trying to figure out a common ground here with these problems. If you can't get it to work (heck, even if you can get it to work), tell me this information:

Operating system (Windows 7/Vista/XP) (32 or 64 bit?) (Home Premium/Business/Ultimate/whatever)
Antivirus programs(Don't forget about Windows Defender)
Exactly what is and what is not working (Tray icon/Radial Menu pop-up(Press Space)/Radial Menu Functionality/Dolly(press LAlt))

I've been able to get it running on two different Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit machines, a Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit laptop, and a horridly crappy Windows XP machine with no problems. My antivirus/antispyware for the first three was Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 & 2010, and for the last it was an outdated version of AVG.

Argh! I had forgotten to update the first post's directions on how to use the program with the changes to the hotkeys...since the first release. I mentioned it in the changelog but not in the "How to use" section. In case you only kept jamming the , or . keys wondering what the heck was going on, it's been changed to Space and LAlt since version 0.1c&d. Sorry!

I'm on 64 bit Win 7,  latest version of AVG.  I had the menu come up, but not functional when running in compadiblity mode. without it the menu doesn't even pop up.

The tray works, just not the pop up. Even after finding out about you switching to the space bar.

This tool looks amazing!  I may have to pop Anim8or out of hibernation right quick just to give it a whirl!
Wow Raxx, all I can say is wow.  What a brilliant program.

Everything works as intended on my home machine (XP Home SP3, Symantec Antivirus 10.0.0.359, NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000).  Haven't been able to get Anim8or running on work machine (W7) other than via XP virtual machine so can't really test tWEAK on that platform (works nicely on the VM though).

The upgrade to Alt and Space rather than . and , is excellent, much more intuitive and comfortable.

This is a great tool. makes a workflow so much easier. Although I only got it to work on my college's computers. It doesn't quite work on my home computer. I will post my specs when I get home.

Also I'd like to ask. Is it possible to make a shortcut for saving? I'm used to doing ctrl+s at very frequent intervals(in anim8or's case alt, f, s). However with tweak on, I can't press alt to acess the menu bar since it activates the dolly.

Otherwise I'm having fun with this tool. Good job Raxx

Thanks for the reports guys.

To you who are able to pop up the radial menu but not be able to select any tools, I think I know what the problem is with that, but it'll take a while to figure out the solution. But expect the next release to be a fix for it.

Janro, sure I could add it, but how about instead I remap ctrl+S to alt+f+s? ctrl+s is the standard in any other program anyways, and I doubt there're many people who require the hotkeys to change between wire/flat shaded/shaded modes :P

Ok then, I'll remap the wire/flat/shaded keys to Ctrl 1/2/3 as well. Not only is it easy to remember, it also frees up three keys (w,s,f) close in reach to the fingers for any future hotkeys.

I'm making it so that Ctrl+S saves, Ctrl+Shift+S saves as...,Ctrl+O opens, and Ctrl+N makes a new object/figure/sequence/scene (not a new project)

Raxx;I think you might know this already but I thought I would post it here anyway, when the project I'm working on gets bigger and requires more memory, the dolly tool starts to slow down quite a bit. The regular arc rotate is still instant, the dolly has quite a lag. I'm still using it though - am used to using alt from 3ds Maxj, its very easy thanks!

tWEAK v0.2 - Anim8or Radial Menu and ToolKit
« Reply #43 on: October 29, 2010, 04:47:03 pm »

Glad you like it Maximilianibus

$imon, yeah I was afraid of something like that. I haven't been able to optimize this tool the way I want to yet, I'll be searching for the solution while I develop this. On computers that aren't workstation-level, I imagine it puts a decent amount of stress on it for now.

UPDATE to v0.2

Lots of changes here, most notable is the addition of the figure editor. Check out the first post for screenshots, new features, and download.

Yes the quick knife tool sucks, and is pretty much unusable. I didn't want to release tWEAK v0.2 yet but figured it'd be a good time to see if the changes I made fixes the problem people are having with the menu being unfunctional.
