<div dir="ltr">Thank you both for the reply. I will go ahead and release a "default blender file for beginners" through the my ongoing thread at the XNA boards as Roland suggested and see what happens. (Great suggestion btw. I wasn't sure if I could do that sort of thing.) And thank you Ton for being receptive about the idea. I think you're right. I hear there are a lot of changes in the works for 2.50 and updating defaults to coincide with new docs makes for much better timing.<div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I'd like to add that these issues *always* pop up in week(s) before<br>
release... and we should not update such important things then. :)<br>
Changing to better default is welcome, there are many quirks in current<br>
one. As for now, i'd say its better to wait for 2.50. It keeps docs<br>
working too.<br>
<br>
