Update to 3.7; personal categories texture gone......
Hello Emmanuel,
I've just updated to the latest version 3.7 on my Mac.
Now it seems my personal caregories of textures are all gone, as well as the Open Recent Homes was cleared... Do I have to import everything again? .....which would be a real bummer as I imported quite some stuff

Would you use the portable version or switch to the portable version?

Are you sure you didn't remove some files when you tried to copy eTeks/Sweet Home 3D content to an other computer recently?

HI Emmanuel!
Noops; I just did a 'regular install' over my copy of SH3D on my Mac; had been working on the project the day before; I always tend to open my project via 'Open Recent Homes'; cleared… Checked the Textures list where I had added my own Categories; gone!
It's no disaster; I still have the 'stuff to be imported' but still, all the imports I have to do all over again…. which takes a lot of time as well…

You must have moved some files meanwhile... Anyway, if you want to import many texture images faster, may I suggest you to create a SH3T file with the new Textures Library Editor?

Emmanuel,
Moving of the project I did; you're right. But I got the impression I 'lost texture items' right after installing 3.7....
Tip / hint maybe; is it possible to let a project e.g. 'MyHouse3D' refer to its own .xml instead of having all projects referring to preferences.xml? Like that you know exactly which .xml you do need to move or not...
Also maybe put .xml in the folder with the project instead of 'ApplicationSupport/eTeks/etc'... This I say because it would make it easier to move the project you're working on, on USB stick and take it with you. Now you have to copy not only your project(s) folder but also the one under 'ApplicationSupport/eTeks/etc', having to overwrite each time the one on e.g. your laptop.... It would be nice if one only has to move / copy one folder in order to have all necessary files with you!?

It's already the case from the very first version of Sweet Home 3D able to save homes. Thus, you can send your project to anyone wherever his furniture and textures catalog is the same or not.
Maybe you found a bug bound to antialiasing but that would be quite astonishing. Please, share or send me a project that lost its textures, and I'll check how it works on my side.

Emmanuel,
It's NOT the project 'loosing it's textures'! Fortunately not!
No, it's the 'list in which you choose textures: the list with Floor, Sky & Wall. If you don't determine anything while importing it puts 'User' in front. That very list of textures was empty, back to standard, after installing the latest version; eel, for me it was back to standard…
No, the projects are keeping their textures alright; there's no problem there!
