Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.4
sree.arun.kr, thanks for your tests. About the message presentation, I'll improve it in a future version, because I want to suggest also to the user to save his home with Save and compress option if he chose a simple save. But adding this message would require a new translation round, that I won't start for version 4.4 again.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.4
Before releasing v4.4 I wish it is the time to add an icon file of size 256x256 for the new generation users(W7,W8) with a good quality.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.4
Are you sure that this icon file wouldn't prevent the program from working under Windows XP?

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.4
Ok, I just added a 256x256 icon to SweetHome3D.ico, and checked it worked under Windows XP and 8.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.4
When testing sh3d 4.4 beta, I noticed this: 3d pane: (virtual visit mode) when furniture is moved (in the upper plan) the 3d view gets greyed out. However, when you move the virtual visitor, the pane goes back to normal. This also happens when you move the size of the window pane.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.4
pencilart, under which system did you run your test? If you're under Windows and the 3D view is all grey from time to time (most of the time after resizing the 3D view), I think it's more likely to be an other issue that happens only under Java 7/8. I spent a big part of the day trying to find a workaround, but without success.
Anyway, to finish better the day, I fixed an issue that was happening in Virtual visit mode for a high elevation of the viewpoint and made it available in the Beta 21. As the correction is a tradeoff that could alter the image quality of the 3D view (mainly on the borders of walls, furniture...), please check if it works for you.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.4
I found a hack that works quite well against the 3D view which gets grey after a resize. It's not 100% reliable, but definitively better on my side. Could the users under Windows who had or hadn't the same problem test this fix with the Beta 22, please?
