I’m as happy as anyone else to talk smack about Apple at this point, but that’s not their fault. 10.6.8 has been available to developers for a damned long time, and if they’re too lazy to test against it why should Apple be held responsible?

I’m sure it’s SOP. Nvidia, Adobe, Blackmagic et al have plenty of opportunity to test against new OS releases before they go public, but apparently that’s too hard. Some of the stuff Apple does drives me up the wall, but this sort of thing falls at the feet of the developers, not Apple.

Doesn’t make sense to me, unless they want to see desks covered in 8 squillion breakout boxes. Machines and equipment racks in the machine room, displays and input devices in the edit rooms.

Then again, Apple doesn’t care what we think.

Yeah, I zipped it on my workstation and punted it onto the laptop. Unzipped, moved to /Applications/ and ran it, watched it run a squillion scripts and then finish and run

100% works. It re-runs all the cogent scripts upon initial launch on a new machine.

There’s no image file but you can zip the app and archive it. You can also redownload at any time from Apple.

There are valid things to complain about, but honestly this isn’t one of them.

Sounds great, I’ve always wanted to have an editing interface that’s even slower than using a mouse.

Here’s the real question:

Is it still exceptionally laggy in the UI when doing large batches? I find the FCS3 version unusable if I want to encode more than 8-10 files. It’s very slow to apply the settings to the batch, if it loads them into the batch window at all.
