repopulate

Could it be that in the latest build something is off again in populating? Every time I change one or two parameters in an object (so no displacement in main line), the pops start to repopulate.

I think I was noticing this yesterday. Simple colour edits and all my grasses wanted to repopulate taking some time. There is no displacement or alteration to pop settings.

Confirmed. I am seeing repopulate/reinsert behavior when switching into RTP after a populate, or even just changing the AA sampler (e.g. from Legacy to Robust) when *in* RTP. It may be RTP-correlated in fact... Were you guys in RTP when you saw this?

No, though I may have switched it on and off before doing another render.

Are either of you still seeing this on the latest Frontier builds, either 4.4.40 or .42?

Haven't been populating the last few days, but I'll have a go.

Working fine now! Thanks a lot.

Glad to hear! Same on my side. So it mysteriously went away then.

Well, mysteries are there anyway. Remember I was always complaining about a hyphen pasted as soon as I opened TG and typed something? That mysteriously disappeared (luckily), but yesterday I was doing some animation work in the animation panel, and as soon as I typed something the hyphen was there again.
I also had a little issue with the animation panel disappearing itself. It was on the taskbar, but when clicking it to the front, it never appeared. Looked like it was offscreen somewhere. So I had to delete it and reopen. Nothing major, but still a mystery.
