view:SetQualityFlags(MOHO.setbit(view:QualityFlags(), MOHO.LDQ_WIREFRAME))

When I run them on my own computers (both on a Windows 10 machine and on a Macbook Pro running OS X Mojave), they don't always work. (I'm running the code when I press a toolbar button, which always works on all computers, and I'm running the code when I enter and exit frame 0, which used to work in the past (not sure what changed, maybe it was 12.4 or some Windows update, but not anymore)

But here comes the weirdest part, when I'm using my tool on another Windows computer, it works fine when leaving and exiting frame 0. They are both using the exact same Custom Content Folder. Tested it with the same project files too.

Is there something in MOHO.clearbit/setbit that I don't understand that can behave different on different machines in different situations?

	if (MOHO.hasbit(view:QualityFlags(), MOHO.bit(MOHO.LDQ_WIREFRAME))) then
		view:SetQualityFlags(MOHO.clearbit(view:QualityFlags(), MOHO.bit(MOHO.LDQ_WIREFRAME)))
	else
		view:SetQualityFlags(MOHO.setbit(view:QualityFlags(), MOHO.bit(MOHO.LDQ_WIREFRAME)))
	end

	local flags = {4096, 2048, 1024, 512, 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2}
	local qual = moho.view:QualityFlags()
	local tempQual = qual
	for i,v in ipairs(flags) do
		if (tempQual >= v) then
			tempQual = tempQual-v
		end
		if (tempQual == 2) then
			moho.view:SetQualityFlags(qual-2)
			break
		end
		if (i == #flags) and (tempQual ~= 2) then
			moho.view:SetQualityFlags(qual+2)
			break
		end
	end

Lukas wrote:Thanks Wes! That stuff goes way over my head. I've tried your brute force variant of the code and the results are the same. It works fine on my colleague's Windows 10 machine, but not on mine.

Here is the code:
http://www.lukaskrepel.nl/temp/ASP/LK_Test.lua (With the tool being active, move in and out of frame 0, the paths checkbox should be true on frame 0, and false on all other frames)
http://www.lukaskrepel.nl/temp/ASP/Debug.lua (I use this as a menu script and use "Debug:Log()" instead of "print" for debugging purposes, feel free to use it)

Check the lm_utilities. He made global functions to duplicate iterating bits in Lua, found here: http://lua-users.org/wiki/BitwiseOperators

hmm -- are you saying that DrawMe isn't being invoked properly / at all if GPU is enabled???

print(tostring(MOHO.hasbit(view:QualityFlags(), MOHO.LDQ_WIREFRAME)))
