RE: [Openexr-devel] Hello OpenEXR list - and some questions

First - list problem; at least in my mailer, "reply" to the list silently 
defaults to replying to author only, not to list. Hence a couple of my 
replies has inadvertently ended up being personal instead of list! Could 
this behaviour be changed on the listserver end somehow?

For example discussion below, I feel I am missing part of it...

Anyway:

Well I do 3ds max plugins with VC7 all day. I havn't had any problems - 
yet. The memory problem was actually new to me but:

Actually it is relatively rare you actually need to do this in most 
"normal" simple plugins. Most stuff come from MAX. Also in a bitmapio case 
you ask max for the bitmap of a given format, hence allocs happen within 
max. (Since I plan not to actually implement a new bitmap format, simply 
allow import/export of OpenEXR's)

The IDE kinda grows on you but I wondered what was wrong with the old one 
:/ The improved debugging and edit-and-continue is worth it IMHO.
