REW Room simuator (current version, not beta) bug?

[linuxonly]

Hi,

Curiously, the minimum distance for the right and left speakers to the front wall seems fixed to 30 cms with REW on linux. Mine are at 18. So I had to manually edit the preferences file to compensate and back them off 12 cms.

geany '.java/.userPrefs/room eq wizard/prefs.xml' &
diff -ubB '.java/.userPrefs/room eq wizard/prefs.xml.bak' '.java/.userPrefs/room eq wizard/prefs.xml'
(...)
-  <entry key="simxLeft" value="3.92"/>
-  <entry key="simxRight" value="3.92"/>
(...)

+  <entry key="simxLeft" value="4.04"/>
+  <entry key="simxRight" value="4.04"/>
(...)

The distance is to the acoustic centre of the driver, typically a few cm behind the front face of the speaker.

That is correct. I read that in the doc. Z906 has 10x17x10 cm speaker enclosures and the wall mounting bracket is about 6 cms.

I'll make a change in the next beta build to allow the acoustic centres to be dragged onto the room surfaces.
