I had a go with the Windows version, and it does show promise. No way would this be anybody's main modeller yet, but for someone who is using free apps, it may well have some useful features that the others don't. I haven't tried all the tools yet, but I did run a test mesh through it following the method described on my OBJ Fidelity page (linked).

It managed quite well - it preserved UV mapping, groups and vertex count, but lost all the material zones and triangulated all the facets. OBJ saving allows you to choose coordinate precision up to 6 decimal places, and whether you want normals or not.

A large mesh (V4) crashed it, though.

Also, the file load dialogue is very peculiar, on Windows at least; I couldn't see all of the folders on my disk, and had to copy my test meshes elsewhere before they would show up.

Thanks for the heads up.
