Cineversity

1. Drag to make a copy of an object manager object (like a cube).
2. Release and notice that the new copy is highlighted.
3. Hit Enter to change the name of the copy.
4. Notice that the original object’s name is now highlighted for changing instead of the copy.​

This is improper (and highly annoying).

I confirmed this behavior with several other users.

I reported it (to support) previously but it still hasn’t been addressed.

Hi ancemoody,

I know how it feels when the way an application behaves doesn’t match the expectations.

This is Cineversity, which means I answer how things can be done, or if there is something not working, how to work around this.

Here is all I can do for you right now:

1. Drag to make a copy of an object manager object (like a cube).
2. Release and notice that the new copy is highlighted.
+ click on the new copy [OM] to avoid #4
3. Hit Enter to change the name of the copy.
4. Notice that the original object’s name is now highlighted for changing instead of the copy.​

I will not reply nor tune in to any criticism of any company or any product outside of Cineversity, not even anything about the competition/3rd party products. It is just not the place here. Thanks for understanding.

What you can do, ask the other users to create a suggestion, how it should work.
The same way a support ticket is opened just uses a different option.

My best wishes

Thank you sir! My criticism was hopefully confined to the bug itself.  You confirm the behavior?

Yes, lancemoody, I can confirm this.

I do understand where you coming from, having spent 4 hours in a support-chat on Sunday for one of the other main apps that I use since 1993. This new bug destroyed my work constantly. It is fixed now. But one can get to the border of patience in such hours. I get that.

I really can’t, nor am I allowed to share anything that the Maxon support does. I wouldn’t want to, but I’m clearly convinced that they do a great job.
From what I can tell from nearly 15 years of having an inside view, things are addressed and checked carefully. There are certain quality procedures in place.

Anyway, I understand (again) the feeling, and even if it is a little thing, something that does not prevent from moving forward, it is annoying. But that is all I can do here. Sorry.

We have that split between tech support and creative support (here) for a reason.

All the best
