Hey Kirk,
First off, thank you very much for how responsive you are and how quickly you get bug fixes released. It really does set Camera Bits apart from the pack and is one of the primary reasons we purchased PM at my paper. Now on to my suggestion! =)

I think it would be helpful to increment the version number whenever these quick fixes are made. I realize you turned the 4.3.2 re-release around in only 30 hours, but it would still help people verify that they have the latest release. It wouldn't have to be a full update to 4.3.3 (that could be saved for bigger fixes/new features) but just to 4.3.2.1 for example (or even 4.3.2b, just something different).

This would also help from a troubleshooting standpoint (with friends and colleagues) because instead of asking, "Do you have 4.3.2 or the NEW 4.3.2?" we could just use the real version numbers. "Oh FTP crashes? 4.3.2.1 was just released to fix that."

You get the idea. =) Thanks again.

Agreed.

Kirk,

On the zoom function I'm not able to move the picture around. I've tried holding down the space bar, apple, or shift. Nothing from any of them. Am I doing something wrong, besides using OS 10.2.8?

You can use the option key and the arrow keys to move the picture around. Other than that, there are bugs in Mac OS X 10.2.x that are preventing the proper operation of Photo Mechanic. An upgrade to 10.3.x will solve the problem, and will also likely speed up scaling operations by up to an order of magnitude on your system.

HTH,

-Kirk
