Hi ken, I'm glad that the opening problem is gone for now at least, let me know if it starts to reoccur on a regular basis, especially if you notice any particular pattern like it starts to happen after running some other particular app or something like that. If there's any way I can repeat the problem over here it makes it a lot easier to try and fix it too.


re: Space Navigator option - actually now that I look into it, I think you should be able to get what you want by a setting that's already available in the moi.ini file which I had totally forgotten was in there.

To edit moi.ini go to Options > General and push the button near the bottom of the dialog that says "Edit .ini file". MoI will exit and then the .ini file (which is just a text file) should come up in TextEdit.app. Find the section that starts with [3Dconnexion] and then the setting you want is:

      [3Dconnexion]
      <....>
      Reverse3DViewZoom=n

Edit that to say =y like this:

      Reverse3DViewZoom=y


Then exit TextEdit. With that set to =y it will additionally reverse the zoom behavior just for the 3D view. So what you would want to do is set the regular zoom reverse checkbox in the UI (in those 3Dconnexion settings we were talking about earlier) so that you've got the ortho view behavior how you want it, and then with that moi.ini flag set to Reverse3DViewZoom=y it will reverse the 3D view behavior on top of that which I think should get you what you are looking for.

Please let me know if that does not do what you wanted. I was just looking into adding that option for you when I saw that it was actually already there, just accessible only in moi.ini instead of set up in the UI.
