Mac "Curve Persistent Data" window

Grasshopper
#1

How about making the “Curve Persistent Data” window resize properly on the Mac, please. The current behavior isn’t very useful :confused: This is in GH in Rhino 7.

Hi - I’ve put this on the list as item RH-62169 for a developer to take a look.
Thanks,

Was hoping this was fixed in the 7.2.21012.11002, 2021-01-12 update, but no :frowning: It’s a simple layout setting in your window code where the resizing/positioning settings for these UI objects just wasn’t set correctly, so it’s not a long bug hunt. This makes it really hard to work with large sets of curves since the UI is already “borked” and doesn’t add/insert items below the currently selected path… You have to add, then scroll-and-drag incrementally back up to the desired path because the list field doesn’t auto-scroll (another UI issue), and having a tall display would help if the dialog wasn’t borked.

Of the 12 426 open issues in our system, I’m sure there are more than a couple of “easy” fixes. This particular behavior was also present in Rhino 6 and you were the first to notice.

Other than that, it appears to have been fixed yesterday and I’ll test. If all goes right, a fix should be in Tuesday’s public release.

Fair argument :slight_smile: I’d go crazy if my apps were sophisticated enough to have 12k+ possible open issues, so hats-off to you successfully tracking, prioritizing and managing them all.

I always wonder how many users actually utilize a particular feature… I have an insanely complex GH program that requires the geometry be generated and baked in sections, so I have been re-selecting bounding curves over and over again during development to generate each section. I read and learned of curve collections, so this feature has been a savior for me to use a pop-up with value list constants pulling paths from the collection using the tree branch component. Rather than re-selecting sets of four related curves from 54 possible sets, a single selection from the pop-up feeds the GH program and generates the necessary 1 of 54 forms in seconds. Amazing functionality you have with Rhino and GH :slight_smile:
