[quote who="ZubaZ" reply="1" id="3690680"] What you describe is not usual. For your first issue, what is your snapping size set to?[/quote] I have it set to 3 pixels apart when moving. I've had it set to 1-5 with same bad behavior. [quote who="ZubaZ" reply="1" id="3690680"] And for your third issue, Fences will always snap to edge but they will not roll up if that setting is unchecked.[/quote] </p

Snapping has never worked great even from 2.0. This is so annoying. Trying to line-up windows with each other is a nighmare. 80% of the time it does not snap into place correctly and I spend a minute aligning one window. Holding Shift to turn off Snapping has HUGE lags. After I resize the edge of a window and release the mouse button and shift key, the window keeps resizing for about 10-15 seconds. This has been this way from v2.0 as well.. Turnin

Strange. I just moved about 30 new icons into that folder, and all the sudden it decided to start working. And I turned on 'Maintain Sorting', and now it is keeping them sorted by the number of times opened. Seems like it has a bug until you add more icons.

Not sure if I am doing something wrong. But when I tell Fences to Sort Fences by: Number of times opened. It does not work at all. I think the first time I used it a message box appeared that said something, but I cannot remember. Thanks, Snacko

I've been away from Sins for a long time. But It seems that I posted this same problem almost a year ago. Why doens't the Forum Search work? I can't believe I even remember this from a year ago. But it pissed me off so much then, that I remember it even now... And it won't let me search again for X number of seconds. Which really doesn't come into play here since it doesn't work the first time. I can even look in a thread for a word. Then sear

I cannot believe that I had to actually shutdown my Antivirus, to get a patch. But apparently that's what it took! I hate these extra programs on my computer, that again... I do not want! Just install a 'simple' update or let me do it myself! I do not need another Stardock application to advertise and let me browse at all of your other programs that I do not have. I probaly will not buy another Stardork program if you are going to force me to jump throu

[quote]Beneath the Chevrons towards the bottom of the panel is a row of stars. Those increase the number of ships in your fleet. The stars at the bottom work just like the Chevrons. The Chevrons increase the number of Capital ships and the Stars increase the total number of all ships(fleet size).[/quote]Thanks, I'll check that out. I don't remember anything about that in the tutorials or manual. Snacko

Ok, I guess I have to do that a lot more. I was researched up to the third chevron only so far. I guess that's not enough, but I thought I should be able to at least build 2 capital ships. One at my main planet, and the second at my colonized asteroid. Both had Capital Ship Factories...

There is a function called 'Focus on Selection' in the Camera section of Key Bindings. But it does not have any key bound to it. I don't know exactly what it does, but it might be worth a try binding it to key and see if it helps? Snacko

I wanted just 1 key to toggle Expand/Collapse the Empire Tree window. By Default the keys are: Collapse All Planets: ; Expand All Planets: Ctrl+; So, I changed the Expand All Planets to just: ;, so my keys are now like this: Collapse All Planets: ; Expand All Planets: ; But that does not work! I can collapse the tree using ;. But ; will not Expand the tree. I still have to press Ctrl+; to expand the tree, even though the Key Bindings screen says it i

There is an option in the User Interface to turn on/off Zoom to Cursor. I have Zoom to Cursor turned On. I have to double-click on a ship to make the camera 'follow' it. If I left-click on empty space, the camera will stop or not follow it. Hope this helps. ;) Snacko
