Re: Krokodove - the missing manual
You'd have to ask Raf, but I assume he doesn't want to give up his development of the tools, he's just not willing to devote time to stuff he isn't going to use.
There's no value for him in making them open source, and BMD hasn't committed to maintaining the SDK moving forward anyway.

Re: Krokodove - the missing manual
Nor would I ask him to, releasing them as FOSS would simply broaden the pool of developers (potentially). As for BMD...yeah, frustrating.

Re: Krokodove - the missing manual
Reactor now hosts a "Krokodove Showcase" atom package that can be found in the Reactor "Comps/Krokodove" category, which can be selected on the left side of the Reactor window. Krokodove Showcase includes 35 Fusion comp file examples.

After this atom package is installed, the Krokodove Showcase content is found on disk at:
You can access the Krokodove Showcase Fusion .comp files using the "Reactor > Tools > Show Comps Folder" menu item.

This menu item opens up an Explorer (Windows), Finder (macOS), or Nautilus (Linux) file browsing window directly to the Reactor "Comps" category content.


After this atom package is installed, the Krokodove Showcase content is found on disk at:
Reactor:/Deploy/Comps/Krokodove/

Re: Krokodove - the missing manual
This is great! Still wishing for a KKD update for mac but not holding my breath.
This happens to me sometimes as well. I think it has to do with the auto next page load feature. The JavaScript for some buttons would have to be reinitialized (guessing - haven’t look at page source)
Re: Krokodove - the missing manual
Ah, good to know I'm not the only one.
Thanks (tried thanking you too but the button just won't pick up my clicking).
