Hi Michael,
Using the old ini file directly has it work...

I've been using a diff program, so I can be sure i have any ini updates and settings kept new, and not overwrite them and lose them for later...

So I diff the 2 ini files (The one from the v4 install that i diffed and added the old stuff into and the old ini file itself, and cant find anything different that i would THINK affects this menu...

I'm baffled.

I could just forget about it, but my ini file is pretty jumbled up now from a default installation...

Hi Michael,
Dont lose any sleep over this... It works.

Hi Burr, the one to look for is in the [Commands] section:

[Commands]
UseDiameterDefault=n
NonRepeatingCommands=delete undo redo
DoNotRepeatShortcutKeys=n
LightingOptions={"selected":"My Favorite","themes":{"Default" <....> { lots more text on this one entry }
<...>

Your old moi.ini should have [Commands] LightingOptions=... but it will not be there in a new default created one.

Hi Michael, I saw on the upgrade page that it is possible to upgrade an educational version, is that correct? If so, is the price the same?

---

Hi noldo, yes well there are 2 different ways you can upgrade an educational version.

If you are no longer a student, you can get the v4 commercial version upgrade, it will work with a license from any previous version including either EDU or commercial.

If you are still a student then there will also be an EDU upgrade version available which will be at a lower cost than the regular commercial upgrade version. I do not sell the EDU versions directly myself though, they are purchased from a reseller like Studica. It will probably be a week or so before resellers will have the v4 EDU versions (both regular EDU license and EDU upgrade) set up on their web sites.

Hi Michael,

Congrats for the release.
I made the upgrade and the link to the Windows version provided online didn't work for me (Google Chrome).
The link I received in the e-mail confirmation worked fine so it's a minor issue... ;-)

Difficult to imagine that my first MoI 3D download was almost 15 years ago !

Thanks for your hard work and continuous support

Schbeurd

Happy New Year !

Yeah had it too....only worked when opened in another tab

Hi Michael,
Well, i thought i did everything correctly, but then again, that's what i get for doing my own thinking!

I was going to revisit my installation and try and clean up my ini better...

One thing i've gotten, is multiple duplicate sections...

Like:

[Settings]
[Commands]

In a couple places....

Is that ok or problematic? Should i worry about consolidating those?

Thanks again...

---

I got this sorted out Michael.

I was confused.

No duplicate sections. Everything working as expected!

Thanks again...

---

Hi Schbeurd, good to hear from you and thanks for the order!

I've had a couple of people run into this but I haven't been able to repeat it over here when using Chrome.

Do you possibly have any extensions installed like any kind of blockers?

Hi Schbeurd,

Ok, I think I've figured out that Chrome in newer installs will ignore http:// download links and only wants https:// SSL ones.

I guess this didn't happen to me in Chrome because I've got an old install with old options set.

I've updated the download links to use https:// now so hopefully this should be fixed.
