So, it's one thing that Mari can't open a simple cube made in Maya with default 0-1 UV layout and complain about too many patches, but I can't get ANY geometry to open without Mari just crashing HARD. I'm really very interested in learning their workflow, but man, I just want the app to be stable....

Oi guys how do i configure and save "new project" maps setups. I need to be able to switch from predefined for pbr/standart layouts.

Is there any chance you guys at thefoundry could maybe offer an additional little less limited version for a higher price? I really want to buy the Mari Indie version but the 3 objects + only 8bit colorspace restrictions are really holding me back. Personally I'd love to have the option for 5 objects + 3 UDIMS + 16bit ...

Mari crashed while I was working. When I reopened my project, it asked me if I wanted to restore from an autosave. I selected yes, then I recieved this error: ============================ Mari cannot load this particular project. This version of Mari cannot share projects with others or load from other versions of Mari. This project is owned by 'chervey' ============================ I'm chervey and I would like to get back to work on my project. Help!...

The restriction to two patches IMHO is making MARI indie almost useless. I actually couldn't load most of my assets due to this. And by the way, many tutorials e.g. on DigitalTutors make use of assets with more patches than 2. Please consider raising this limit to something like 4....
