Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.3
Thanks Mike for your file and the description of your problems. I was able to fix the issues in the version 5.3 Beta 8.

This new Beta version allows to change again the angle of a texture and fixes an error during file opening that ignored the color of items which belong to a group. Unfortunately, this second bug provoked a loss of the color information of these items when the opened file was saved with the Beta 7. I hope you tried that Beta version on copies of your sh3d files as recommended, otherwise you'll have to change the color of the grouped items again.

Under Linux, the Beta 8 version should also fix a bug that grayed the 3D view when Sweet Home3D window was activated/deactivated. I didn't find yet why navigating in the 3D view runs slower than with version 5.2 under that system. More feedback and ideas on this point would be very appreciated.

Finally, this version 5.3 might contain only the .sh3d file format change and bug fixes. Some Windows and Linux users waited for corrections on critical bugs for quite a long time now, and I feel it would be better not to wait more weeks. Hope you'll agree.
