manual update

[chrisdebney]

could a manual update be good?

I'm adjusting the force parameters and everytime i change one spinner it computes, as i tweak several spinners it'd be good just to hit a manual update key

I'm using disable/enable which is cool... and there may well even be one

Hey Chris,

Changing the update loop so that it doesn't reset each time something changes is definitely something on the todo list. I too get annoyed when the flow constantly resets after changing a setting and it's a design decision I regret carrying over from PFlow. It's even worse when a rogue modifier or plugin sends a reset notification down the pipe even though nothing has changed...and the flow obediently resets.

The current plan is to eventually add an option to enable that functionality, but by default the sim would just continue from the last frame, while using whatever new setting you changed...with the ability to reset the simulation as usual to see the whole thing with the changes.
