Re: Sweet Home 3D 3.8
Hi, thank you for great new features :-)
I also get exception box when trying to save multiple photos. I run Win. When debugging I found in line 644 of PhotosPanel: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\X220\Desktop\4 - 12\19\12 8:45:36 PM.png

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.0
Here's a new beta of the next version of Sweet Home 3D:
First, I jumped to version 4.0 because the next version will have two major changes: - I reprogrammed the shift key as a shortcut used to keep alignment of moved objects along the horizontal axis, vertical axis and 45° / -45° axes, a classic behavior seen in many drawing applications. The shortcut key used to toggle magnetism will be now the alt key under Windows, the cmd key under Mac OS X and the Linux / Meta key under Linux (please Linux users, confirm it works for you since I didn't find any information about the behavior of that key). - When a color is globally applied on a piece of furniture that displays some textures, these textures will be replaced by that color too, as shown in the following image:
This behavior is more consistent and isn't a big issue since it's now possible to change each material of a piece.
This new beta proposes also a better dialog box to choose the directory where the photos generated by the Create photos at points of view dialog will be stored, and fixes a bug under Mac OS X that forbad to resize windows when their 3D view was detached when saved.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.0
Emmanuel,
It's impossible to test this under Ubuntu 12.04. After clicking the link, some files are downloaded, the SH3D starting window appears, and then... nothing.
The old link on the desktop for v3.8b now gives an error message.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.0
Thanks for your feedback.
Meta is obtained by pressing the left Windows Key and the left Alt key simultaneously.
Do you mean that pressing Windows Key alone won't work to toggle magnetism?

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.0
Well, it works no more this morning... Another OpenJDK issue ? I played with keyboard settings yesterday to find the Meta key, but finally reverted to defaults...
Seems like this needs some more investigations...
With Ubuntu's default settings, the Windows key is used in two different ways : - short press displays the launcher ; - long press displays a help screen for keyboard shortcuts.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.0
With default settings, and if I read correctly the keyboard map, Meta should be Shift-Alt. But this doesn't toggle magnetism.
If I change the keyboard settings, so that Meta is on Left Windows Key (I have only one on my Logitech keyboard), it works but after one second holding the key, this help window pops up... As a workaround, I can press Shift-Windows or Alt-Windows to avoid the popup.
Debian Wheezy, with Oracle Java, shows the same behaviour. Default Meta (Shift-Alt) doesn't work, I have to change keyboard settings to move Meta on the left Windows key. At least, Gnome shell doesn't show this popup help when you hold the Windows key.
@Hans : do you use Unity and/or Compiz on your Ubuntu ?

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.0
Since Alt key is already used under Linux to move the current window, I guess I'll have to find an other shortcut. I would prefer a single key, but if it's not possible then I'll choose Alt + Shift.
