Re: [Visualpython-users] Beta 4.beta26 bugs

[Anders P. <an...@gm...>]

Nice to see that the bugs are already addressed.
Though I don't see why "pickle.dump(scene.forward, file)" shouldn't
work. scene.forward looks like a normal vector.
This is not such an important feature, of course. I would be more
happy to be able to set the zoom level programmatically.

I briefly tried to reproduce the "box.height = 3" issue but didn't see
the problem again. The effect I got before was that all boxes took on
the same height.
Maybe the effect had other, natural causes...

Regards
