And a Message: "NOTE: We are testing V14 in the punchcad forum with download links and new feature videos." I have noticed that the WIP builds are sometimes much better than downloads from the Punch website. Therefore, I won't update without access to WIP builds. I bet the glitches in the in-stream zoom commands haven't been fixed yet... I'll wait for version 15. Will it be possible to upgrade from version 9 to version 15? At time is there a Upgrade from v.7 possible, so i guess it will be possible. But without a test version o do not upgrade. Or i use then the Money Back Warranty. Because if some bugs not fixed, i do not upgrade. Edited by user Wednesday, April 19, 2023 4:18:35 AM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

Having Mac and Win versions that get worked on at different times, makes some of the comments hard to follow. I suspect v14 SP1 will be Mac 1st, then Win. As for actual WIP builds for download, not sure. And with v15 already with the Dev team, how much focus is on "SP1" ? All that said, this forum site needs to be split in two, one side Mac and the other side Win. Edited by user Wednesday, April 19, 2023 8:57:02 AM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

VC/SC on Mac OS is different than VC/SC on Win64, in every regard. GUI's are different, control is different because of different OS, etc etc. Some postings have issues that only show up on Mac OS, others on only Win64, etc etc. Having to split the forum between Mac and Win64 just makes it easier to read or find posts related to the OS I am running. It's a pita to read a thread of this or that only to learn later the thread is related to MacOS and not win64, so it really does not apply to me. OR Users need to park in their sig the OS they are running VC or SC on, makes it easy to see asap what OS the post is related to, etc.

We use a cross platform underlay to provide the same dialogs, menus, tool palettes, etc. However, controls are implemented at a native level where decorations (shadows/outlines/color) can be different. Graphics used in the GUI are exactly the same as they are extracted from the same Skin folder located in the Resource folder. >>Users need to park in their sig the OS they are running VC or SC on, That is very useful for tracking down issues. Not just Mac or Windows but the OS version. IE macOS 11.7(M1/Intel), windows 10, windows 11. Tim
