    Thanks for the beta!

    Question about the model manager: looks like right now there is no way to specify which version of the selected model(s) to download. For example, selecting Artemis HQ downloads only the files for ahq-v12. I see json files for ahq-10 and ahq-11 in the models folder, but right now there seems no way to download previous model versions. Was this functionality missed or will it be added later?

    If you have previous versions turned on in preferences then they will be listed in model manager and you can download them.

    Excellent - thanks!

    Is this the live export preview that was in v3 but removed for the v4 series? I don’t see any way of enabling it…

    7

    I changed the alq-13 file to alq-7 or 8, the older models, and it fails all the time for encoding, with a red cross. Why do old models no longer work? I thought it should work, it worked when you put the old models in a previous beta version in version 3. Why in version 4 it doesn’t work at all, it always fails with a red cross. Please explain to me ??

    Live preview is applied when generating previews. Since we don’t have an area to view just exports anymore, you can preview the entire duration and treat that preview as an export with live preview.

    the preview is not shown unless i actively select it from the list. also I found no option to see the new live preview when exporting.

    Can someone help me with my previous post? Thanks a lot

    Post the logs! Otherwise we are all just guessing.

    Ok, got it now - thanks!

    What are the steps to preview my running export ?!
    How can i treat a running export for live preview ?!

    14

    When will it be possible to do previews while exporting and max. processes is set to 1.
    So that at least 1 preview is always possible no matter “max. processes” is set to ?

    I always have to set max. processes to 2 and cancel all other queued exports to do an preview and after that i have to set max. processes back and start the cancelled exports again.’
    Also the pause and resume function for exports is still missing…

    An option to rightclick and start an queued preview just now could help also.

    15

    What is this model manager for ?
    When i start an export the needed models are downloaded automatically but when i look after that into the model manager it´s still empty…

    16

    When i do a rightclick on a running export and choose “Open in external Player” or “Show in Explorer” there´s nothing happening.

    I have the same experience for so many versions and betas before. nothing happens. :eyes:

    Some users have asked for the option to have models downloaded for offline use. The Model Manager GUI downloads all available block sizes for the selected GPU and ensures that processing can complete without an internet connection.

    The question is: why don’t we have an area to view just exports anymore? it’s a useful part of previous ui’s that just got removed.

    It never worked properly for most people - jerky, freezing, laggy, unreliable, inconsistent behaviour.
