I'm wondering if Steve is planning any updates to this awesome tool (I have an email out to him, we'll see if I get a bite).

For one thing I can't seem to get it to remember any settings, like to stay on my 2nd monitor. I tried "Save Current Settings As Default" but it doesn't seem to affect the window position/size.

I did manage to adjust which rollouts were open on startup, by editing the mcr file, but that's about it.

How do you all use this tool? Do you just put up with it always opening in the center of your screen?

I never figured out how to apply Turbounwrap from the right click quad menu. I usually have unwrap on there as it's one of my most used modifiers, but I couldn't figure out which if any of the entries in the customise window actually applys the modifier.

Also I miss some of the more recent standard unwrap tools when using turbounwrap or unwrap tools. I really hope someday they do get updated to work properly with current versions of max. Sadly there doesn't seem to have been any updates to

As for your question, it annoyed me too even though I only have one monitor, I prefer the window over to the left so i can see past it. Eventually I uninstalled it and stuck to unwrap tools.

Yeah, no quad shortcut AFAIK. But the Align and 0-1 Fit tools are so essential for me, I'm using it regardless of the window pos. Hmmm, have to dig around in the MCR file a bit more, I think the popup position is in there somewhere.

BTW, I tried adding a new item to the macro_modifiers.mcr file, which adds the quad shortcuts for everything...macroScript TurboUnwrapMod
enabledIn:#("max", "viz")
category:"Modifiers"
internalcategory:"Modifiers"
tooltip:"TurboUnwrap Modifier"
ButtonText:"TurboUnwrap"
(
on execute do AddMod TurboUnwrapUVWMod
on isEnabled return mcrUtils.ValidMod TurboUnwrapUVWMod
) ...but I can't figure out what the mod's "real" name is for AddMod. Gonna try a post in the MXS section, see if maybe Bobo or someone can help out.
