@Juan Gea (juang3d) What you worry about is exactly what I worry about too, in 2.7x, the tool panel is very friendly for addons setting, yeah, the icon in 2.8 is very beautiful, but not friendly for tools setting and look for tools, e.g. the brush, in 2.7x all in one grid list, but in 2.8, If you are not familiar with it, you must unfold everyone groups to look for, the tools setting too. for quick unfold groups, so I am highly recommended can use hot keys to do this, like when the cursor over the tools group, press A to unfold, and the tool groups can auto unfold when the cursor across over the tools. and best this worked for the top bar too, this very useful for quick work, please please please to add this hotkey. btw I find when the mouse cursor over the value domain will become double arrows, it's make me fill strange, like the old behavior much more. sorry my poor English

I recommend this can use “A” key to unfold the tools group, like the old behavior. hot key much quickly than hold LMB.

Only one problem, why don't show hot keys in editor lists, lots editors have hot keys, but no body know it, even for lots old users. Please keep hot keys.

This addon give me big help, it's useful for multi-images to planes, Like a pile of poker, and it's provided a node group to adjust for all materials, just one question, any possible for replace current materials though this addon(like one material "A" have linked on many objects, I want every objects have different textures(images), through one button, replaced all materials( material A ) with different materials(image nodes + node group(for quick adjust for all) ), sorry, my bad English, hope you can understand, currently, cycles can't easy for multi-images materials, this addon give me hope.

@Brecht Van Lommel (brecht) , Sorry, my English not good, so show it in gif, you are right, in previous version, the option in F6 panel will be remembered, 2.79b can't remember the amount value, but others looks ok, like the cuts number.

Yeah, but in old version(.exe packed), it's have check box option that allow me to delete all config files through uninstall program.

@Brecht Van Lommel (brecht) hello, in 2.79b still have problem, like flow:

I'm not sure I can reply in this area, I saw lots ui idea in 2.8, it's make me crazy, even hate and angry, the Blender from amazing magical to normal and ordinary, lots style from photoshop, max, maya and modo, put them together and called it 101, lost itself for new users, WHY not make more tools tip for first open in blender, as far as I now, in photoshop 2018, unreal and 3d coat, they all have good tools tip to lets users to see it clear, for example, switch editor have hotkeys in blender, but less people know that, even lots old users. Actually not myself don't like the new ui design, include my friends, lots are old users, they are uses autodesk at before, and now blender start like autodesk in ui design. for photoshop, it's really not good in ux, tools bar in left, layer and property in left, move mouse left to right, right to left, the tools setting topbar more inconvenient, so in new photoshop version, more and more move in property panel, I have used photoshop in five years, almost less in topbar setting, yeah must be move your eye look for from left to right, the option panel is much more better. I really like blender, because it provided the different idea and operation than others, clear and light, very efficient in work. but now, more like autodesk with obese and awkward.

@Joshua Leung (aligorith) , wow, big thanks for your tip, Ctrl+E is my need.

Thanks for reply, possible, please add this feature in futrue, thanks

windows 10, 2.79

I really don't like the top bar design, , the F6 panel is much more useful and practicability, maybe it's good for the beginner, more obvious.

Anyone have the same problem in windows 10?

@Sergey Sharybin (sergey) I must to say I like before much more, I am think select\visible\render not affect the data-block, and these property is often to use, can't edit this have some little sad, but now, you still can press H/Alt+H in the 3d viewer to hide/unhide the linked object, anyway, if possible, please revert to previous or we can edite this property, I'm sorry for my reckless, just my idea :D

@Mai Lavelle (maiself) I can confirm this, the step flow:

@Ronny G (nutel) I don't understand what is the -nan normals, but your method is work，very thanks for your reply : )

I have the same problem. the external displacement map often make blender crash in the Experimental feature, like connect the node, switch the displacement mode, than crash :(

@Kévin Dietrich (kevindietrich) I have test it use the dynamic paint waves at before, have the same problem, and my friend tell me import maya is no problem, so I guess the problem is in import, and happened with the mesh deformation by the smooth normal, if you have fixed this, please ignore the above, this is the .blend file, very thanks!

I can confirm this, and I have report this at before, the point is you minimize window than save, you can look more at here[[ https://developer.blender.org/T46266 | T46266 ]]

I can confirm this, can't import realflow mesh cache(.abc) Windows 7 64bit sp1 :P

@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) I tried many times, still can't find what is the key to cause, and crazy is when I try to reduce the source file, it's happened , but when I save as than try again, it's works good, maybe you should close this at first, very sorry :(

@Martijn Berger (juicyfruit) Hi, does any body can write a .reg file, just open it, and have option to install blender(build association(-R)) and uninstall blender(clean registry), currently we can use the -R to association, but i don't know how to uninstall, so I have go to Registry to delete by manually, if possible the .reg file can included into the Zip version, just run the .reg file to association. sorry for my bad english.

@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) Hi, can you make the space search keep the history, it's will much easy for search multiple operations by often. this is my suggestion that posted in the rightclick, very hope to add this, thanks for you :P

Hi, I am very like this function, and I'm very hope can add some setting for this, because the property as same as the target not often to used, and usually we should change that by manual in the graph editor, So I make one draft in flow image, and in this idea, we can changer map ranger through the option panel, or press F6 to change this quickly, very hope can add this, and it's make driver much more easier and faster.

Hi, very thanks for you fix this, and I still have some question, does this have fix in the day build version? I am meaning the "select" button is use to select the vertex in current vertex group, but the selected vertex in the edit mode not same as the weight paint mode, is this right. something like in the flow images, sorry for my english

@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) not actually crashing, no exiting or error tip, just stop responding, perhaps because my computer too low, the CPU will become very high, and than stop responding, but if I check "Clamp overlap", it's will be work fine. never happen that.

Hi @WuYiming (NicksBest) very thanks for verify this, it's make me crazy

Are you like me? this is my problem T48202

@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) I'm confused, I ask my friend to test this, he is ok, not crash : (

@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) not ever, more happen on the edge area that bevel edge, check "Clamp overlap" will fine.

@Bastien Montagne (mont29) It's OK ,not influence on use blender, and there is my idea for drag to append, just a little, hope it can helpful for your work. http://i.imgur.com/hm23SBH.png

the paste, not past, sorry my bad english :)

@Alex (Kinryu) have fixed in 2.76 rc2, but still can't uninstall completely

Test many and many times, the image preview like font preview, also crashed, and I have test under Multi-level, still happened. it not very frequent, and even let me believe that will not collapse, but it still happened by sometimes. hope more people try that, sorry for my bad English.

@perfection cat (sindra1961) I'm sorry , I don't understand programming, thanks your careful, I hope my feedback can help you.

@Bastien Montagne (mont29) I have test many times, it's looks the crash only happened in normal model, and never with -t 1. the system is windows 7 sp1 64bit, e5300 2.6ghz 2g ram. because it's not aways, just crash by sometimes, so the results only as a reference, hope can help you, thanks.

I found the same problem with font preview, just sometimes will happen, although the thumbnail have generated done, but when I drag the bar up or down to view font, sometimes will crash. I'm think the thumbnail preview in blender 2.76 not stable. something like T46291

@perfection cat (sindra1961) I test again as you description and I found something interesting

@perfection cat (sindra1961) lost one step, if not make floating window minimum, will not black. So happen with:

I have closed others windows( disabled all blender running), than open it.
I don't know blender how to work in many Windows, something like duplicate Windows(CTRL+Alt+W), if have many Windows, will appear many Application in Task Manager,but the progress have only one.

@perfection cat (sindra1961) To explain clearly, I have record one video, you can download at below, just happened with floating panel minimum before you saved, please try again, I have test this on three computers, all happened, also test with the DLL file by Bastien Montagne, very thanks! sorry my bad English

@Bastien Montagne (mont29) , I know your meaning, and try, the system is win7 sp1 64bit, blender is default, the driver is normal, and I have try the dll file, and even do it on my friend computer, the problem is still appear.

@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) @Bastien Montagne (mont29) I am think it not the opengl error, if i am not minimization, it no problem, just happened in minimization, and the black windows' s title will show the same path( if not user preference, will show the path, for example 3D view in previous version). more like opened twice

@perfection cat (sindra1961) this is your file , sorry , I am lost one step on previous description

Ok, I am sorry , I have tryed again and again just a moment ago, and I am sure now, I lost one step on previous description.

it's for me too, install 2.76 will removing 2.75, and nothing to notify, the old installer(.exe) have more choose for user, the msi just one install path to select, no others, and even can't uninstall completely, So there is no difference between installer and Zip, even much bad than Zip, Please back to .exe, don't make trouble with it , so sad for that : (

@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) used two days, all normal ,and make an compare with 2.74, the 2.76 is faster, I think I should make a feedback, even if there is no problem

yeah, the installer version with <blender -r> works fine too, but I don't know how to uninstall completely, it's need change regedit, I don't know -r add what in it. somebody who can write a batch file is used to install or uninstall blender through change the registry. and useful for us, even zip version, and should be included in zip version. or maybe by the performance setting(CTRL+Alt+U).

I think I should try it for more days. just once slowly, and restart have sloved, not much sure, maybe I opened lots webpages and enable translation software caused that!

Yeah, it's not really bug, just some idea for this, don't know where to post suggest, so at here, sorry ~~

I have some suggest about this function, and I don't know where to post it, So I post at here, my English is poor, sorry for that!

YEAH，I have find it too, feel slower than previous version, hope optimize that :(

I have installed blender 2.76 rc1 (Install version), and this problem still not fix! even not association with .blend and automatically uninstall 2.75 in others path with not any prompter, So I should manual assign .blend open with blender.exe, and amazing coming, when I assigned that, not work, and become open with others software ( Bing IME ), try again and again, So I have to uninstall and than install again, than manual assign .blend again， it's works, but still no thumbnail :(

if mode simple, can add subdivision, but not an practical method for complex mode, it's should have optimization on cylces, I guess have much more good method :(

Weird. For me this renders identical. Can't see any errors.

Are you sure you don't have a Subsurf Modifier on that sphere with a different detail setting for viewport and render?
Because with just a default sphere I cannot reproduce it.
Maybe you can attach your blend file?

Surely they could be improved and have dedicated icons for that, but we don't have them currently. Wouldn't consider this a bug, it's a TODO for our UI team (aka @Julian Eisel (Severin) and @Thomas Dinges (dingto)).

So thanks for the report, but this is to happen outside of the bug fixing process.
