Minor Glitch in 3 7.4: No Manual Flow Scanning.

[JayPro]

Not a big deal; but I can't get the FlowFields to change manually in the Standalone, regardless of whether I use the Toolbar or not. It just shows the "Next Flowfield" message (unnecessary and visually cluttering IMO in verbose mode) when I toggle "A"/"S". Everything else is peachy-keen hunky-dory as usual.

Vers:
3.7.4 (4756)

OS: Tiger 10.4.11
512 Meg DDR SDRAM

I shall presently furnish additional details if needed.

Thanks.

Wait about 10-15 secs then try it--sometimes it takes some time for the Mac toolbar to "catch up" after it first connects.

Sorry for the delay in responding; but unfortunately, as per your suggestion I still get the "Next FF" message without any changes.

Are you sure that you don't have "Smooth manual FlowField switching" enabled in the toolbar?

[JayPro]

Okay...Good.

I turned it off, thus bringing back the manual scan; but it doesn't seem to make sense.

If something that enables manual switching--smooth or otherwise--is turned off by the user, how is doing so possible regardless?

By extrapolation, therefore, why couldn't I manually switch if the very control that would allow me to do so is turned on?

Or am I overcomplicating things? I just woke up and my brain's not quite in full gear yet.

Smooth switching is off by default, so it looks like you turned it on at some point (which caused what you're seeing).
