Thanks! But what about the "live preview" checkbox? I can't believe I am alone in finding this behavior intrusive and annoying (at least for some effects) unless I specifically turn it on.
Well, I challenged whether this is required in a previous e-mail, and you didn't respond. So I assumed that you thought my logic was flawless :)
I guess my logic here is that I can't see a reason that you'd want to turn it off. If you're saying that it would be annoying, what do you mean by that? The screen update is distracting?

I don't find it too intrusive and annoying, but I think that out of respect for people with computers that lack the resources to update in a timely manner this is a must. L-systems and a few other effects would effectively be useless on those people's systems with only live-updating.
Well, there isn't "only live-updating". What happens is that the live update will run. If you hit "OK" you'll get a "Working" dialog while the effect completes. In reality, it should make script extensions seem much faster to those with slow computers because the script gets started while the computer is waiting for the human. We should get at least a couple second head start if not more.
In a nutshell, I'm not really against having it be turned on and off, but I don't see a use case for turning it off. I think it'll just turn into UI clutter.
