    Update value from Render() function to dialog.

    in Plugin Developer's Central

    The Effect instance is not capable of communicating back to the EffectConfigDialog via the EffectConfigToken. This was a concious design decision -- every time the token is updated, it is Clone()'d once for each rendering thread (there is always a minimum of 2 threads). This solves a lot of thread safety issues. Also, the config dialog is only meant to be a "front end" to the effect -- the dialog and effect are not supposed to be some tightly coupled pair. The effect, in essence, should be oblivious to the existence of its config dialog. I should be able to execute your effect without using the config dialog (this is required for Effect -> Repeat [effect name] to work).

    You should also note that Render() will not be called just once, so you are going to have the problem that you will have 200+ "results" no matter what communication channel you are able to find to use.

    Well, there's only 1 forum, so I'm not sure what the problem is. You could also have just sent an e-mail (Help -> Send feedback or bug report...)

    Anyway I'm not sure I understand the problem ... are you saying that File->Open always opens up to the My Pictures folder? It's supposed to remember the last folder it was open in, and use that. Or is the problem something else?
