General user information:

1) There is a greater range of zoom in 10.1, especially when you

 set perspectiveDepth OFF

2) A bug exists and will be left in 10.1 for now that makes

 set picking CENTER
 [user clicks atom #23]

different from

 center (atomno=23)

This has to do with the fact that "set picking CENTER/[user clicks]" isn't rescaling the model to fit the screen the way "center" does.


Frieda-specific information:

Unless you somehow knew about the undocumented "Frieda switch", ignore the rest of this message.

Here's where we stand, Frieda:

3) The former

 set frieda ON

is now

 set windowCentered OFF


4) The bug referred to above (2) exists and will be left in 10.1 for now that makes

 set windowCentered OFF

and

 set picking CENTER

incompatible, because it also results in the setting of windowCentered being ignored. .

5) A bug exists and will be left in 10.1 for now that makes

 set windowCentered OFF

allow for improper scaling, as you noticed when you rotated a model 180 degrees and saw it "zoom way up". This, too, is and easy fix, but we have left it UNFIXED for now. That fix created the "camera-moving-out-of-the-way" effect specifically and only with "set windowCenetered OFF".

The feeling on this end was that fixing all of these bugs at once was just a little too much change for now. But we'll address these immediately after release of 10.1. Look for 10.1.01, I guess.

In short, I consider both

 set picking CENTER

and

 set windowCentered OFF

broken, but easily fixable.

That zip file I referred to earlier, Frieda, DOES have these fixes, so if you try those .jar files and have some feedback for us, please to let us know.

This release includes:

Can you be a little more specific about this?

Comparing 10.00.59 to 10.00.60, it seems to me that the "camera moving out of the way" effect described by Bob has been removed from 10.00.60, and the zoom levels seem quite a bit lower as well. Do these have to go hand-in-hand? What other behaviors are encompassed by the perhaps-somewhat-too-personally-named phrase above?

Right, we didn't hear from you, and from others we didn't heard enough positive feedback about that camera moving idea (even though, presumably, no one else has ever used "set frieda ON" -- I may be wrong there), so we decided to put it on hold.
