Re: [Maya2osg-users] Discussion of next changes

  Hi guys,

  If both of you prefer the Notes field, I'm fine with that. I don't
think necessary to let configurable all possible options always to
keep all of us happy  :)

  Let's go ahead then with the Notes field. Certainly it has the
advantage that it is quite visible and easy to edit. If you encode the
osg description between the <osgDescription> ... </osgDescription>
tags it can coexist with previous (or later) notes.

  In conclusion, forget about the custom field and let's focus our
efforts in more productive features.


  Regards,
