4.4 Feedback

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Greetings,


We've updated to 4.4 last week, and my experience is negative.
The first thing is the interface, simply horrible, even windows 8 has a better interface.
Second is selecting domains or boundries is now an extremely annoying matter, the default hover and click is very annoying and it took me a while to figure out how to change it.

Makes me wish that I could just revert to 4.3b.

What a weird product development choices.
I am very disappointed.

Hi,

If you do not like it, you can easily switch off the new functionality.

1. In Preferences-> Graphics Windows Selection, set 'Select by' to 'Left-Right click' and you are back to the old behavior with double mouse clicks for selection. Reverting to the old selection mechanism will also switch off the possibility to scroll through hidden objects using the mouse wheel that was introduced in version 4.4.

2. Right-Click on the ribbon and Select 'Minimize the Ribbon'. Now you are back to 4.3b behavior.

Regards,
Henrik
