I have tried opening the operations/pocket shape line in the combo view, re-opening the operations menu and hitting the refresh button on the upper toolbar (comes up recompute in the python console) nothing happens. Are you talking about a different procedure? As herbk pointed out, a very standard ...

When I compile in release mode those "_d" files are not created.

I sometimes make the mistake of going with the default, and the result does not work.
