Hi Simon, I'm surprised you can click on a different template and delete to the control in the couple of seconds it takes for the animation to finish. I tried it and found it quite tricky to be quick enough. If someone is adept enough at Templot to do that they can hardly still be called a beginner, and they would probably want to change their setting: 2_050731_510000000.png which is saved in the program preferences. However, I can see that it could cause problems. I will add some form of interlock in the net update so that nothing can happen until the animation has finished. What I have noticed is that the animation runs much more slowly on Crossover/Linux/Wine than on Windows. My Linux system is dual-boot with Windows 7, so is using the same hardware and graphics card. The difference must therefore be in the Wine system timers or graphics code. p.s ...
