I dusted off CF for the first time in several months recently, and ran into an odd issue.
Sometimes, for some reason I couldn't pinpoint, my files would stop accepting 'custom' seed values -- that is, if I entered a new XYZ value in the seed window, and hit 'Render', it would just render the next image sequentially, as if I hadn't changed the seed value at all.
I could temporarily fix this issue by copy-pasting my script into a fresh document window, which would then work properly and accept non-sequential seed values, but I knew this wasn't working as intended.
This afternoon, I was able to replicate the issue:
Under preferences: When Context Free Opens: [x] do nothing.
Step 1: Open a previously-saved document.
Step 2: Type a different seed value into the window.
Step 3: Hit render. Note that the different value is not rendered -- the sequential value is, instead.
To avoid the issue:
Step 1: Open a blank OR previously-saved document.
Step 2: Open another previously-saved document.
Step 3 and up: In the second document, everything then works as it should. Even if you then close the first document, the second one continues to work fine.
Other info: If you set CF to start with a blank document or the welcome message, this doesn't happen. It only seems to happen if you set it to start with no document at all.
I hope this is enough information to be helpful in fixing the issue. It's not a critical error, of course, but I wanted to report it anyhow.
--k.
