I had a brief period of clarity and wanted to get this out before I forgot
what I was doing :-)
Expanding this for 'planting' is one of the things I'd like to see also.
Select 'high detail' and you'll see another idea. Right now you need to know
the starting point, if I do trace in both directions, maybe I can join two
objects (magnet?)

The format for the save/load has changed and 'freezes/crashes' is a common
result for incompatible scenes. The current 1a5 version is unlikely to
change, and will be renamed 1b when I get the scenes converted. The last two
versions (1a3,1a4) are still on the web site, just not  linked to, and at
least one of them should read the sample scenes.
