Thanks for the detailed gif.

I haven't seen this issue before. In version 1 there was once an issue with decimal places that had to do with the system language. What language is your Windows platform set to use?

It looks in the gif like not only is the decimal cut off, but when you drag the input you are getting very choppy updates, the value slider should be keeping with your mouse. Are all activation inputs dragging like that for you?

The node screen editor is implemented as HTML and javascript running in a web view. The application sends and gets back commands by running javascript. In the Advanced Options tab of the settings form there is an option "Show UI Profiler". Could you turn that on? Then in the bottom left of your node screen it will show every second how many commands were sent to and from the html page.

For a test I have an agent with just a Blend Inputs node that's opened up. I drag the input back and fourth quickly. Both the input and output activation displays keep up quite well and I get something like this in the profiler:


Are you seeing a similar number of commands to and from?

Wow good catch, I'm surprise an old video card driver would make it so choppy like that. I need to make a trouble shooing page somewhere with that info.

Are you still having the issue with the decimal place being cut off?

Embrio runs on the .net framework, so on Windows you shouldn't have to update anything else. On Mac and Linux it uses the Mono framework.

The webview control built into WPF (the windows form technology) didn't have a couple features that I needed, so the web view is using something called CefSharp. CefSharp is why you need to install the Visual Studio C++ stuff in the installer, and is why the installer is 50 megs. It's a bit bloated, and it would be nice to be able to use the built in web view control, I might look into that again to see if there's anyway around the issue I ran into before.

Thanks for letting me know that a video card update fixed your issue, I have had some reports of choppy performance before and I didn't think it could be a video card driver problem.

If you have a different language setting on Windows I suspect changing it to English would fix it. In version 1 there was an issue because some languages use a , for a decimal instead of a .

I fixed it in version 1 by forcing Embrio to use American English settings and ignore the system settings. I believe that same thing is happening in version 2, but the issue seems similar that I suspect it could be the same cause.

Edit: So when you drag an input now, does the background value color move as expected, but the displayed number stays at 0 with no decimal places?

Thanks, good to know what the issue is. Strange that you get decimals some times and not others, I would think it would be broken or not. I'll investigate and have a fix updated soon.
