Andrea: it was changed around September 2018.  Below the dotted line is the original email.  I thought I had corrected the wording in the manual but apparently I only fixed one place.

And if while making a new video, you get some good explanatory screenshots that I can use for the manual, that would be great!  (Else, I might have to steal them from your video).  I have not spent any time understanding the camera and projector so in the manual just mostly did a "cut and paste" from the cv manual without the accompanying screenshots which were outdated.

I don't like it either.  GG is going to make a mod and change it UNLESS users are so enamoured with the current way it works and say "please do not change it".  And is it later becomes a problem, can reverse it.

I say it freely, I don't like it. I work a lot with the camera and
feel that this is an unnecessary hurdle. Do I stand alone with it,
has anyone ever thought about cutting off the old plait?
