would it be possible to create an updater/upgrader process that would install a new version of 3dc and uninstall or replace the old one? so you aren't constantly uninstalling manually?

Might be worth considering, to have a lightweight launcher client window one day, something like "3DCoat launcher", "Pilgway launcher" 
It could have features e.g., 
• View all available apps, 3DCoad, 3DCoat Textura, whether installed or not, with option to perform clean install or first time install
• Connected with account, manage user account, stores serials/licenses
• Automatically retrieve most recent build of 3DCoat, with option to install or update/overwrite present local installation
• Manage content libraries and install things like, packages for 3DCoat with textures from the new PBRLibrary
• Manage floating license, license servers

Some examples of this would be Jetbrains Toolbox, where Jetbrains IDE users can manage and update all their IDE softwares. Or Maxon (cinema 4d guys) Maxon App. Clip Studio, the paint program, has a launcher app where you can see all projects and update, see news, etc.
Talking about this

the moment chisel and other flatten brushes break symmetry -  is then you choose average normal sampling

[jimhatama]

another bug is that render room doesnt remember settings when you switch to sculpt room  and back

[jimhatama]

2d paint tool doesnt respect pressure settings and is using pressure even when set to off

In retopology, We have the (Tweak) Slide edges tool.  Does it not make sense to have slide Vertex on this also?  This would reduce having to move to a different tool.

 

Cheers.

Very often hangs while autosaving. Very annoying... the same was on 4.9 version.Possible to fix?

Is it scene dependent? If so, please send example of sense to andrewshpagin@gmail.com. Are there any other conditions?

It can happened on any project. Just if I don't noticing auto save countdown and don't making the pause in brush movement while it saving.

Hi Andrew!

When using curve tool - samples from Spline panel have wrong direction. I'm working Z axis up... but before it was not a problem

 

[jimhatama]

lasso , rectangle, circle  do not work on most  painting brushes like build up

[jimhatama]

On top of it 3d coat do not uninstall properly from win10 and stays in installed list .

@SERGYI Cloth tool in new scene with a simple sphere freezes 3D Coat. Create a new scene from start menu selecting voxel sculpting -->large sphere. Select cloth tool. Move cloth shape above sphere. Select start simulation. Nothing happens. 3D coat freezes. After force quitting 3d coat it still has a running process eating up 98% of cpu. Have to kill it from sysmonitor.
