From macrumors: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=505414&page=3 "Somewhere within the Office 2008 12.1.1 Update package is an item named 'updatables' which shows that multi-language versions of Microsoft Office Setup Assistant are sought, in particular the Plugins/SLT.bundle inside it. This bundle was introduced in the SP1 Update (12.1.0) and is not found in the original MSO2008 install. Opening up the Office 2008 SP1 Update (12.1.0) package, and looking inside Packages for Office2008_en_core_12.1.0.combo.pkg, I opened this one up with Pacifist to look for the Microsoft Office Setup Assistant updater/installer. Inside, we find the SLT.bundle in its multi-language state. When this is extracted with Pacifist onto the hard-drive somewhere (desktop will do), it can then replace the one embedded in your existing Office 2008 SP1 installation. (Like many, I had also removed all language localizations and, in so doing, changed the SLT.bundle inside Microsoft Office Setup Assistant) After doing the above, and after a couple of goes (no Safe-boot or logging-out required), the Office 2008 12.1.1 Update went fine, and the 12.1.1 apps work." |

About the full-featured FS Preview window: Can that window be entitled with the task-in-process (ie Exact Synch, Incremental Synch, Exact BackUp etc.) to dispel any doubts about what is being previewed ? Might it even be possible to change tasks from within the Preview window, just by changing the window-title ? Thanks for the ongoing work on FolderSynchronizer. |

With v2.30 iDMG now retains the settings last used before quitting. In iDMG Help, will you also explain the File System selections and their effects/consequences ? Thanks Patrick. |

Patrick, HFS+ and UDBZ (slider all the way right) gave me better compression than UDZO. After trying UDZO and setting the slider, the slider was kept to the right when I tried UDBZ. I wish I could keep that setting (like a preference) every time iDMG is launched, since high-compression read-only dmg is what is most often needed. All the best in your studies. |

Re: drag-&-drop onto iDMG's 'Drag here' icon. In v2.1 it works, for me, like a jaw that's hinged on it's bottom-left corner, and opens up to gobble a folder when it is dragged towards the right-side of the dotted-box icon. Imagine the fun if/when this action is accompanied by a nice chomping-grinding sound :] I'm using iDMG almost daily since I discovered that the combined selection of HFS+ and UDBZ produced the smallest read-only disk-images possible. Or am I wrong? Any way that a user could make the right selections by being guided by balloons or something ? |

Revision 4 of MediaEdit 3.0.1 (released April 8 '08) has fixed the crashing in the Audio function when USB-headphones were or were not used, or plugging and unplugging them. Thanks for being on the ball! |

Revision 3 of MediaEdit 3.0.1, released April 7 '08, finally works on my G4 with Leopard. Thanks. BTW, as with v3.0.0, selecting Audio (on the right-hand-side of the Project window) consistently causes crashing if my USB-headphones aren't plugged in. It seems like M.E. remembers that I first tried it with the headphones, and now requires them for the Audio function always. Unplugging the headphones in Audio also causes the crash ('An exception of class NilObjectException was not handled. The application must shut down.') |

Using the same 5MP JPEG as before, I tried 200% pixel-size enlargement. The PZP stand-alone app. produced a 9.7MB file, while the GFPP plug-in made a 6.4MB image, both set for best quality. Side-by-side Preview magnifications show the GFPP image to be more defined. |

I've just tried the Genuine Fractals PrintPro 5.0.4 and the PhotoZoom Pro 2.3.2 CS3 plug-ins on a 5MP JPEG (732KB) for 1000% pixel-size enlargement. PZP took about 38 minutes on a G4-dual 1.33GHz (upgraded) Mac with 1.5GB RAM, both CPUs just over 70% mark. The resulting image was over 216MB with same quality as the original JPEG. GFPP used full capacity from both CPUs, and never completed it's task; many minutes into the process, CS3 froze. |
