Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.5

I released tonight the version 5.5.2 which fixes some bugs reported since version 5.5 and includes the portable version.

To ensure Sweet Home 3D can run under the upcoming macOS 10.13 High Sierra, I had also to update the Java 3D version used in the installer (DMG) and portable distributions, to Java 3D 1.6.0 (the same one used under Java 8). Unfortunately, this obliges to give up support to Java 5 and PowerPC which are the only option to run Sweet Home 3D for some users under Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5. Nevertheless, if these few users still want to use the latest version of Sweet Home 3D, they can still run the JAR Exectutable distribution.
Anyway, keep in mind that giving up support to Java 5 will happen sooner or later because the compiler of upcoming Java 9 won't be able to generate files compatible with Java 5 anymore (for Java programmers, the smallest value for -target option in javac is 1.6 in Java 9). But there's no need to hurry!
Speaking about Java 9, note that I also tried successfully Sweet Home 3D with the last Beta of Java 9 under Windows and Linux, but had trouble under Mac OS X, where it doesn't run yet (except if you use the -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.no3D=true Java option to run the program as Sweet Home 2D).

One last thing: there's still a bug in macOS High Sierra that prevents to display the menu bar of Sweet Home 3D at the top of the screen on non-English systems. In version 5.5.2, I programmed a workaround that attaches the menu bar at the top of each window (like under Windows), and as soon as Apple will have fixed this bug, the menu bar should go back to screen top. Please, don't beat me, I really did all my best to avoid this bug! wink

You may also use the JAR Executable file or the Java Web Start version which don't show this bug.

Hope you'll enjoy this update smile

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.5

COPY-PASTE doesn't work under Mint 18

I made a drawing (walls and floors) and then tried to copy everything from level 1 to level 2. Unfortunately that wasn't possible.
- I tried CTRL-A then CTRL-C then CTRL-V without success.
- I tried select with mouse, then using the menu Copy and Paste without success.

Copy-Paste only works when selecting one or more items (but not ALL) at a time and copy-paste it to the new level.

NB: this is about walls and floors only, it's a design so far without furniture.

System: Mint 18, based on Ubuntu 16.04, SH3D version 5.5a

Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.5

Sorry Hans, I just tried some demos of Sweet Home 3D 5.5a and 5.6 under a fresh image of Mint 18.2 64 bit, and could copy paste the selected items after a Ctrl + A.
One thing I noticed is that when the compass is visible, it's also selected with Ctrl + A, but as the compass can't be duplicated, it's not part of the pasted items. Thus, as the copied items and pasted items are different, they are pasted at the same place with no visual feedback (except the compass which becomes unselected if it's displayed in the plan area). This may give the feeling that nothing happened. Wouldn't it be what you actually experienced?
