there is a missing FreeTool() call if the tool is active and you quit Cinema4D.Tool Data
virtual void FreeTool(BaseDocument *doc, BaseContainer &data;);

Hi Klaus,
I don´t think this is a bug. The FreeTool function is meant to be called when switching tools not when leaving Cinema4D. You can use your destructor to free allocated memory when C4D quits.

It should be called, otherwise it doesn't make sense to use InitTool().
F.e. if InitTool() creates temp-objects in the scene and FreeTool() deletes this, this objects are still there if you quit (and save the scene).

That´s why I said you should use your destructor :=) It will definetly be called and you can free any resources you allocated in InitTool() if the user quits Cinema 4D with your tool active.

Yes of course you can go around this problem with the destructor-method. But it would be more convenience if there is a FreeTool call at the end.
F.e. if you need doc in the destructor, you have to store it at the InitTool-call. Therefore this end-call of FreeTool would solve all this workarounds. It's maybe not the correct forum, because it's not really a bug - but there is no ideas/suggestions-forum.
The Maxon-Coder should decide if it makes sense to change this.

Yes, I agree that it would probably be more convenient and as a suggestion I think it´s good :)
