bug with rotation map

"Use normal" is set to 1, rotate mask map is set to solid white color and checkbox Z direction is ticked.
In this situation duplicates are rotated around world (?) Z axis. Not local Z axis. Is this normal????
Multiscatter version 1.1.05

It is not a bug. Now rotation by texture working in world coordinate system. Maybe in future we will add switch to local coordinates.

This is very strange behavior.
Now rotation by texture is useless if distribution surface is not flat...
Please consider adding this switch as soon as possible.
I think this is a basic function for plugin such as Multiscatter

Basically rotation by mask was made for this kind of effects

Then basic objects already rotated randomly, only rotation in world coordinates can make such result.

I see - this is useful in some situation.
But this is some kind of advanced trick.

Anyway - the problem is that I NEED this switch to local coordinate.
Is this difficult to implement this feature? It would be useful for many users...
