a request from the AE list for a multi-line text box for jotting notes, rd: Notation is now available in the lab. max chars is 1999 it seems, and you can enter newlines only on Windows (by pressing Ctrl + Enter); sorry Mac folks, it’s a limitation of the multiline edittext control. as usual, feel free to leave your feedback (input, requests, bug reports, etc.) in the comments.

rd: Kinda Sorta has been updated with a Z Position option. nothing fancy here (i.e., it doesn’t take into account Z Anchor Point at this time).

i added a Queue Only button to rd: Render Layers that simply populates the Render Queue with items for the selected layers. i hope you find it more compatible when used in a render farm and with lloyd’s BG Renderer script. it’s enabled only in Work Area mode.

i tweaked rd: Script Launcher to fix a possible sorting issue. now, it’ll enforce a case-sensitive sort order. this updated version of the script also addresses a possible crash in v2.2 due to some obsolete code that wasn’t removed. oops. [hat tip: russ maehl, for the bug report]

i tweaked rd: Shapes to Masks based on a suggestion from nab. it should do a better (automatic) job of dealing with cutting out holes in masks for letters like ‘g’ and ‘o’. let me know if you encounter any problematic characters. [hat tip: nab, for the peer review]
