Hello,

 

Ah….Will behave in the future. Thanks for explaining the threading. Even
though I think I am starting a new message by just erasing the  subject line
it has some sort of residual internal ID. This probably happened with all
the BOF postings. I will post the final agenda for the BOF as a new message.

Hi John,

I think you're creating a little confusion on the OSG list and forum at the
moment. I've noticed the last few times you posted, it was as a reply to a
thread, but your message didn't have anything to do with the thread you were
replying to.

Many mail readers, and the forum (which is a mirror of the mailing list) use
thread ID to put messages into threads. When you reply to a message, your
message gets the same thread ID as the message you replied to, so it gets
put into the same thread (as a reply, which makes sense) but your message
doesn't relate at all to the message you were replying to, so the person who
wrote the original message is confused about your reply.

Also people who were meant to see your message might not. For instance, some
people only read the forum, and your message will not be a top-level post
but a reply to another thread which they might not read.

So in the future I suggest you start a new thread (by writing a new mail)
instead of replying to an existing thread. This should be just a few
keystrokes more than replying, since your mail client most probably has the
OSG mailing list address already memorized and will probably fill it in when
you type "osg" in the To: field. But it will save a lot of confusion, and
will ensure your post is seen by all.

Robert, this should probably be an FAQ, I've seen others do the same thing
in the recent past. (do we have an FAQ for the mailing list? if not we
should)

Thanks,

J-S

Hello,
 
Just ran across this in a CAD newsletter.
 
SimLab Composer: Apparently, this imports and exports OSG. Also, it seems to
import a lot of other file formats. So, it is theoretically, an authoring
tool suitable for OSG authoring and conversion. No experience on the
correctness of exports and scene building capabilities. Just noticing the
import and export features which are in the least expensive version.
