This version is pre-edge blending.

Improvements to Syncing between layers on same and different computers.
Sync usable in all play modes also with playback at different speeds.
Also works without any delays on same computer - so sync can be used on one computer to keep edge blended layers together.

Fixed beach ball on non-administrator accounts - that dont have permission to write to documents folder.

Just went to have a look at this on my Powerbook which I have used to check all the latest versions of Catalyst and this version just gives me the menu bar and beachball of doom. I have to force quit to get out.

m57 still runs fine though!

Tried it on one of my G5s and it works.

Weird!

Cheers

its probably adminstrator permissions related - i create a couple of files when the app starts up.

you can run m62 as administrator, but you must control which user created the advanced files like presets and so on. if you are not the owner of this files you get an error message when you will quit the application that you can't overwrite the setup files.

m63 is for users and administrators.

I am the only user account on my laptop and it is an admin account. As far as I am concerned I should have complete access to everything on my machine. Am I incorrect?

I am obviously missing a fairly fundamental point here.

I appreciate the problem is fixed but I would like to understand what it all means. If I am mistaken in the way I use my computer I would really like to know.

when you haven't change something yes, but there exists much more users and also a superuser. you can find more about all the users and roots in osx and unix manual about system administration.

a system like osx works with user and group permissions. create a second acount on your system and then you can see, that you as user can't look into the other private user folders (just some public folders). you can't open this, you can't write, read....

this is really extended unix/osx system administration....

have look at this links:

Thanks Mike

I was getting "accounts" mixed up with "users". That all makes sense now.
