[size=+2]Substance Painter now has an official release date: October 15th![/size]
Of course the update rate won't slow after the release and we will continue adding plenty of new awesome features after the 1.0 release.

Just in time for Christmas!

Small update, Rotation on Fill Layers is finally here! The next release should be pretty interesting
Main Changes
A pretty beefy update today, with the ability to use normal maps as brushes and fill layers, rotate them freely while keeping a correct result.
Also a brand new export wizard allows you to create custom complex export patterns to fit your engine and pipeline!
Main Changes
Edit: Just tried it out. Worked awesome!
The new youtube video showing off the new features is a nice addition.
This program is awesome, keep up the good work.

Any time I create a new project its read-only
https://www.allegorithmic.com/system/files/software/download/build/Substance_Painter-1.4.0.746-msvc11-x64-standard-full.exe
Do you mean the SPP file is read only? Even after you closed the project?

Crash after replacing mesh
Crash when reloading a substance with different number of inputs
FBX meshes from Cinema4D import with incorrect material names
Right after a new project is created upon importing a mesh and texture sets, a (Read Only) bracket gets added to the Substance Painter titlebar.
Saving the project gives you a 0KB file.
I'm on the steam version.
I'll reboot in the meantime.
Yes, the file is set to read only and will show as 0KB until you close it, to avoid corruptions or issues when moving or overwriting files that may be open. It's the regular behavior.

at work now,will check more when at home...
also loaded the new build with hans sample and painter didn't want to close,had to use Windows task manager to exit.

Could you explain what this is please?
[Viewport] Allow to dock panels side by side
It sounds really interesting.
That you can dock panels like this :
My feature request was implemented! I love you guys so much!
Depending exactly on what you need, you can already do that with Substance Filters.
Substance filters are able to read the channels of the documents and perform whatever you want. That'w how the blur, sharpen and warp filter work.
See : http://support.allegorithmic.com/documentation/display/SPDOC/Creating+custom+filters
Create my own sbsar filter in Designer (i.e. for example convert normal into curvature, then break curvature with some noise and so on) and import it into Painter?
If you have more questions I suggest creating a dedicated thread.
Fixes:
Add a shortcut for updating the imported texture on a fill layer, to make it easier to use with Photoshop and other paint software. Currently it does not update the texture until I manually go to the texture, reload it and re-select the texture in the fill layer channel.
In Designer it automatically updates when I save from other software. Could painter become the same?

Fixes:
Do you have an NVidia card? The Win10 drivers have issues with Painter and other tools/games and NVidia is currently testing a fix.
