hi im using natron 2.5 and whenever i add the transform node and try to scale using the handles in viewer the handle doesnot move and dont scale i can skew using the handles but never scale unless i do it from the proporties section … can some one help me fix the problem … not sure if this info will help but info about the open gl renderers in natron are listed below

OpenGL renderers:
Intel(R) UHD Graphics 750 from Intel
OpenGL version 4.6.0 - Build 32.0.101.5768 with GLSL version 4.60 - Build 32.0.101.5768

This was fixed a while back, but is not part of the 2.5 release.

I assume you are using Windows, if so: Release Nightly builds of the AJC-RB-2.6 branch · acolwell/Natron · GitHub

Thank you for your response and for pointing me toward the nightly builds of Natron 2.6. While I understand that the issue has been addressed in newer versions, I am specifically using Natron 2.5 because it is the version taught at my school. Upgrading to a newer version is not an option for us at this time.

I would like to know if there’s any way to enable or fix the scaling handles in Natron 2.5. Is there a patch, configuration setting, or workaround to restore this functionality in this version?

Your help is greatly appreciated as this issue impacts teaching and workflow for my students.

  1. Wow Natron is being taught in schools? That’s amazing.
  2. I presume that if this was fixed in 2.6, then it probably won’t come to 2.5 (unless there is a patch/a patch could be developed). The reason being that 2.6 is moving to Qt6 meanwhile 2.5 is on Qt5. It may not sound like a big thing but Qt is the GUI framework Natron uses so an update means rewriting the GUI; which breaks backwards compatibility of the code. I may be wrong and the devs might have a way to fix it; or maybe not. This is just my understanding.
