I think that locking is implimented, just not quite as we had hoped. It seems that all tex locking does is compensate for a translation of an object when tex. locking is on. This means that rotations or deformations of a brush will not lock, and that loading and saving prefabs will not keep a lock. The later is more of a bummer in my opinion, since that is why I wanted the lock in the first place. The rotation is still not so good, but I realize how hard it would be to impliment a locking fearture with the way Qoole currently handles rotations. The lock would be hard to do in real time since it would bog down the process. A better way to do this is handle rotations and deformations with a temporary quick view and then do texture alignment calculations afterwards.
