Well, I never really gave it much thought until recently. I have been working on my animated film for nearly two years now, and every time I save a new version of a shot or scene, I add comments to that little box at the bottom of the save dialog telling myself what changes I had made to the new version. It just occured to me today - how the heck do you view those comments? :-) I looked in the PDF file and the book and found no explaination. Anyone have an idea on this? Thanks.

You got me. I tried everything I could think of. I looked at the "info" for the file closed, but no comments came up. I tried inside of Carrara to find where to access the comments. I would think it would be accessable from outside of Carrara, from the raw file, but I couldn't make it work. Maybe they forgot? Maybe you found a bug : )

Well, I've found one way, but it's not the most helpful. When you open the file and then "Save As..." you get to see the previously saved comments - but it would be helpful to see those comments BEFORE you open a file, or as you said - outside of Carrara.

A Carrara file is a text file, openable by any text editor. Here's an example: Without comments: 3DC { asci 1 fver 2 sf "Carrara Pro 4" vers "4.1.1" prvw 0 UsIK 1 CamL { CamN "Camera 1" } (Blah, blah, blah) With Comments: 3DC { asci 1 fver 2 sf "Carrara Pro 4" vers "4.1.1" prvw 0 comm "These are the comments" UsIK 1 CamL { CamN "Camera 1" } (Blah, blah, blah) Same file, just added comments to one. Hope this helps! :D

Thanks Blue! That helps... I think I could write a quick little drag and drop app that would open and read the comment info and display it in a dialog box. Thanks for the tip!

Your welcome! :D
