Hi,

The 'sphere mapping' routine uses the current view to detect how to
map, just as an extra 'control' for the user to define how mapping
works. Not an issue, but a feature! :)

I like features ;) They're so much better than issues.

The biggest problem with this routine, was that it doesn't take care of
creating a correct cycle. In the back you could notice an ugly seam,
where the UV coords wrap around 360 degrees.
<<

Yes you can end up with a very nasty seam, it always seems to end up on 
the front rather than the back though. So it does require some prep. of 
the texture, seamless textures that have been made for spheres do work 
the best and don't have seams.

  I saw that someone (in the
NaN days) wrote extra code to correct it. Did you test that?
<<

No. Where may I find it, in the code that is?

 >>
I don't know why the menu option was removed... I'm fine with putting
it back, but then I expect you to give it a good test and report on
correct behaviour! :)
