"Show Full Name"

- when selected : make components with full parameter names

- when deselected : make components with abbreviations

I think it might be a toggle for view option like "show seperators", "draw fancy icons"....

It behaves somewhat different though. Those toggles affect the display of all items, the Full Name thing is permanent. Components added while the option is checked will always be shown.

Since this mode disrupts the size and layout of components, it would not be wise to switch between them freely.

Yes.. Awesome..

and the reference order.. the later made geometry, the lower index.. I guess..

Yes, the order of objects in the Rhino file is maintained. Whenever an object is changed it gets put at the top of the stack.

I'm not really sure I could supply a different meaningful order.

First of all...thanks for the new release! I seem to be having some trouble with the geometry pipeline. I get the attached error message when I drag it onto the canvas...then it partially works, as it reads curves, points and meshes from a specified layer, but it doesn't reference Breps. Also...if it's supposed to refresh with each newly created object in Rhino, it isn't for me...I have to recompute (which really isn't a problem)
