A couple of the 2021.7 features not working as intended

Quick question-
can the mouse wheel direction for scrolling through the palettes be changed?
it currently does the whole “natural” thing which I personally, don’t understand.
if I roll the wheel up, I want things to scroll up.

also, “Saving/Importing/Exporting will now return to the folder from which the file was originally loaded” doesn’t work.
saving/importing/export, always points to the last folder used. is it a preference I have to enable somewhere?

on a Mac, by the way.
thanks!

Hello @Ham_Sammich

[Update] Apparently, you may need to turn off “Natural” scroll direction in your OS Trackpad settings.

This is what happens for me on both Windows and Mac. If I scroll the wheel up, it moves to the top of the menu. If I scroll the wheel down, it moves to the bottom of the menu. I’m not sure I would expect that to happen any other way, either.

I’m not aware of a way to change that in ZBrush. Your OS or Mouse configuration utility may provide additional options for customizing that behavior. If what I described above is not the way it is working for you, please contact Pixologic Support.


That note may be poorly worded. It refers to a behavior in previous version of ZBrush where if you were to save a file to one location, then do something like import a texture, the next time you go to save your file it would default to the location you just loaded your texture from, not where you last saved the file.

This is no longer the case, and I’m not aware of any issues with it working on the Mac version of the program.

There is currently an issue with the Windows version of the program and some of the save/export functions not remembering their last save location. I’m not currently aware of any such issue on the Mac version.

Again, if this is not your experience, please contact Pixologic Support for assistance with technical issues or to report bugs.

Thank you!

thanks, sir.
I guess I’ll have to contact support.
if I change my mouse settings globally, the direction changes as you’d expect- but then it’s going the wrong way for every other application.

as for the saving/importing exporting thing. it’s not working like it should, as you described.
no biggie, really. I’ll just hope these things will get looked in to.
thanks!

Many application offer an option in the preferences for mouse wheel direction. I wish ZBrush had that. It literally works opposite of every other application on my Mac. It’s jarring!! :rofl:
