An SSD should open everything much faster. If you are staying in the Mac ecosystem and looking for a very fast machine with SSD I would recommend an iMac with the i9 8 core chip. Mine runs FormZ very well and is going to be much faster than a 2010 Mac Pro at both single and multi core tasks, at a pretty decent price point. v9 opens in about 4 sec. on my iMac.

No crashes to report here in 9.0.4.2

working for me on Mac 10.14.5 Unless you pan the screen or drop a guideline, then the input field is no longer highlighted. An error I've been trying to get corrected since v7 beta!

Glad to hear they are looking into it already. Thanks Justin.

Yes I also realized after posting that I can hold Option key and mouse click to scroll. Works well. I might write Support to see if scroll wheel scrolling can be sped up. I gave up on Apple mice years ago. I use a Kensington. A few times over the years when I used to freelance I would bring my laptop and mouse into the office for a few weeks at a time. I would leave my mouse at the office and it always was gone the next day as someone wanted to replace their Apple "magic" mouse with something that actually does just work.

Got it. +1

I searched around and realize that holding Option key on Mac scrolls the full palette. That is SO much better. However, scroll speed for the overall palette is still very slow compared to scrolling within a palette or a web browser.

Now that the kinks have been worked out, more or less, I'm really liking the new UI. There are still a few areas of improvement. One is scrolling the palette dock. It is very tedious to scroll the new palette dock on the right side of the screen. I would love to see a scroll bar return to allow for super fast mouse based scrolling. I realize it takes some screen real estate, but it would greatly improve workflow IMHO.

How is this different than the Reshape tool?

Old habits die hard. Glad to hear it more or less seems to be working. For me I have decided to do minimal workspace alterations to the default v9 workspace and adjust my habits to the new UI. That way if I need to rebuild my workspace it takes only a couple minutes to be up and running again. So far so good.

I would email support directly with bug reports. They have a ticket tracking system and I have had very good success in reporting and solving many v9 bugs so far.

It is a bit of an odd time in the world. Maybe not the best time to draw conclusions from how many people are posting to the forum?

For me the new Give Guides Snap Priority is working great. Mac OS. It locks on right as I hit shift and the guides display above all objects.

cool. thanks
