If I choose the "Preferences" item in the "CADintosh" menu the outline of the prefeence window appears for a few moments, with no contents, then I get a message "CADintosh unexpectedly quit".I forgot to mention my setup in the message I posted earlier:Ti PowerBook G4, 1GHz, 1GB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.11Let me know if you want copies of any logs etc.I also have:V6.0.1 X PowerPC (Universal Binary)CADintosh X V6.0.1CADintosh X V5.5.3installed and all these open the preferences window OK.I have the feeling that the preferences are stored in a different place between v5 & v6 so mabe different settings can appear in each of those.regardsRowland-- : Rowland Carson http://home.clara.net/rowil/: <rowil@clara.net> ... that's Rowland with a 'w' ...

I often forget to turn off the "make .BAK file" option becuase it's in a different place to all the other file preferences.I also think that the display option for the cross-hairs or the (horrible, disembodied) finger ought to be an application preference, not a file preference.There's probably an argument for putting the backup option in the application preferences too - if the user is always having to change certain file options on every new file, then they should be in the application preferences.It would be interesting to know if anyone else here has any views on the above.regardsRowland-- : Rowland Carson http://home.clara.net/rowil/: <rowil@clara.net> ... that's Rowland with a 'w' ...

I think I noticed this effect when I first opened X (either v5 or v6) files using the UB version.I've found what I think is a v5 file, and tried opening it and saving it with several CADintosh versions.6x respects the original preferences of the v5 file.6UB does not respect the original preferences of the v5 file.6UB does not respect the original preferences of the 6x file.6.1 beta does not respect the original preferences of the v5 file.6.1 beta does not respect the preferences of the 6x file.6.1 beta respects the preferences of the 6UB file.I note that the files where the preferences are not respected by the UB & beta versions are those whose finder icons are the generic type, but they do respect the preferences of those which show a preview of the drawing. >>Thorsten>(important note: please always include this complete email in your reply) As you wish! >>----------------------------------------------------------------->Thorsten Lemke>Lemke Software GmbH>Zum Rohkamp 5e>31228 Peine>Germany>Phone: +49 5171 72200 (German)>Phone: +49 5171 72202 (English)>Mobile:+49 151 15772037>Fax: +49 5171 72201>WWW: <http://www.lemkesoft.com>http://www.lemkesoft.com>E-Mail:<lemke@lemkesoft.com>lemke@lemkesoft.com>Business details:>Amtsgericht Hildesheim HRB 101500>Geschäftsführer Dipl.-Ing.

Is that the intended behaviour?regardsRowland-- : Rowland Carson http://home.clara.net/rowil/: <rowil@clara.net> ... that's Rowland with a 'w' ...
