same annoying thing

Jordan, I also have this bug. It easily reproduce:
1. Open zorb
2. Minimize
3. Close using "X" window's button
4. Open again zorb
Window size not restored and window tries to open in minimized window's position.

thanks for the kind words

thanks for the kind words kurt_hectic!

harumscarum: I have never had the issue you mention. There is a file that stores the size and position of the window here: \plugcfg\ModModZorb_Setup.ini (should be in your max dir)
Is should look something like this:
[UI]
ChkHidden=true
ChkExc=true
ChkSel=1
ModMod2_Size_X=564
ModMod2_Size_Y=469
ModMod2_Pos_X=1466.0
ModMod2_Pos_Y=493.0

You can delete it and It will load up at the default size. Sometimes, perhaps between updates it can get corrupted and not save the settings properly.

permanent error on complex scenes

similar issue from time to time on script's run - it appears ant the very botto from the left not minimized but smallest window size possible. cool tool, but very annoying to restore and resize it every time
i hope it could be fixed

THX!!!

I logged in just to type : thank you!
That script is awesome, it should be a core, standard module inside 3ds max.

Hi Demetrio, I have uploaded

Hi Demetrio,
I have uploaded 2.7.01 that has a few UI fixes to make it work a bit smoother on first run in 2013... I think everything else should work ok, but let me know if there are any specific issues in 2013.

Max 2013 Upgrade

Hello, I have been forced due to a mass software upgrade in my company to go to max 2013. Are there any plans to update this super time saver plugin to max 2013 any time soon? :)
Let me know, i'd be very sad to know that we can't make use of this wonderful tool anymore!
Sunny days to you all!
D.

Thanks,
ZM
