Title: Re: Shape()

At least that would solve a problem for XSI plug-ins that use the FTK as well. Because these plug-ins might use an FTK DLL different than the one that XSI is using… (e.g. plug-in using FTK3.5 with XSI5.1)…

speaking of which... would you rather have version numbers with the dll distribution (similar to the msvcrtxxx.dll) ? that can lead to DLL hell, but then again, you would never have coexistence conflicts as long as you distribute the dll (which the EULA allows you to do).

When we discover the cause we hate ourselves

i did a classic mistake i started using the FTK from XSI 5.11 rather
than the 3.6.3 release
the DLL's however where still from the FTL 3.x release and therfore
weird stuff was happening
removing the older FTK fixed all problems
