Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.2
More in stackoverflow on what triggers the Smart Screen - I guess it may just be a new release issue. Off topic, I know, but I cannot help being annoyed by the fact that an option to run is hidden in the More info text. And this is an obstacle to market entry for many brilliant outsider developers, see also FSF blog post.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.2
ALSO WITH 5.1 installation: Tried installing the normal download too with Win10 / Edge (read somewhere that Edge has an additional implementation of SmartScreen in addition to what now appears to be part of the Win10 OS).
Having vented my frustrations in SF bugs 651, I will shut up and go back to work.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.2
The version 5.2 was released tonight, and therefore I removed all the beta versions. For your information, I found a way to display the help at a larger scale for the HiDPi version.
Hope you'll like the new logo:
Many thanks for your support!

Well, that would explain it!
Thanks for the fast fixes and enhancements. I've been out of town for a little while, and am looking forward to playing with the new version. (So far I'd only been able to try 5.2 beta 1.)
By the way, have you managed to make it through my far-too-long rambling discussion of anti-aliasing in SunFlow? I've been trying to step through the source to see if I could find any possible problems with SunFlow's oversampling and surface normals, but with no luck. I suspect I'll need to compile a copy with maximum debugging code activated before I'll have a chance of finding anything -- a temptation I'm trying to resist until I manage to get some consulting gigs scheduled -- but hoped I might have jogged your memory about something you'd seen earlier. I'm still experimenting with aa.min = 0, aa.max = 4 with good results, but it would be nice to know for certain if these settings are truly an improvement....
Thanks again -- I'm off to play with 5.2 (release)!

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.2
For your information, all installers and source code were updated on February 19, 2016 to fix a possible conflict during auto saving of homes for recovery (version in About dialog shown as 5.2a). Sorry for an inconvenience this may cause. I must have some bad luck with .2 versions

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.2
Been assessing some software products in my time. SH3D does not even come close to any list in terms of lack of stability. So, no reason to loose sleep over this - what is very nice is that you turned around and produced a fix the same day - enjoy your week-end. ok
I read your interesting comment (it's never too long). As said before, I might adjust default settings of Sunflow in a future version, but I prefer to go very carefully on this subject.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.2
Emmanuel,
Probably several people are willing to experiment with settings.
Ideally, we would have: - a timer added to the photo creation window; - more options in the Advanced Settings Photo Rendering plug-in; - a standard file that shows all the (un)wanted features: - - interior light; - - exterior light entering through window(s); - - glass and transparency; - - white spots; - - "double" textures (Mazoola example); - - flipped faces on (Sketchup) models, etc.
Finally, a list of tasks of different settings worth exploring.
