i just downloaded and installed the demo-version of zookeeper 2.2.1.0 on 3ds max 2010 64 bit

when clicking the "hide filtered node"-button or the "show empty inputs"-button in a schematic view,  the following "Max.NET Unhandled Exception"-message pops up:

Exception and stack trace

System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type '#=qls72GvL6084TynQkXRM5Iw==' to type 'Ephere.Plugins.Autodesk.Max.Zookeeper.Entities.Entity'.

after that, this schematic view responds strangely to mouse clicking:

- when left clicking, the error message keeps popping up

- when right clicking i get the ordinary context menu, but the view itself is kind of greyed out. after that, left clicking again works fine, right click-behaviour keeps buggy as described.

the other views (an object manager view and another schematic view keep working fine).

is this a reported 3dsmax 2010 behaviour or possibly due to limitations of the demo-mode?

should "hide filtered node" and "show empty inputs" work in demo-mode?

Fixed in the next build, thank you for reporting.
