I am very happy that h/w acceleration can be turned on or off from menu without a program restart...way improved over FP11.
BUT, since so many people have soooo many HA problems/issues, and we must turn HA on or off for various actions in using TFP....until and unless HA issues are a thing of the past....SUGGEST that a HA on/off toggle is added to the main window like an F3 "s/w" key on the screen along the bottom with other on/off toggles such as snap, grid, ortho etc.
The benefit is ease of use for users...for example I MUST switch HA "off" for every render and yet I need it "on" for all design work...at least an easy toggle switch and keyboard keystroke would relieve the continual pain of menu clicks too.
PCs are meant to make the job easier and GUI can contribute to or hinder use and user frustration
