What a moron. :? LOL

LOL what a relief!

Moron? Ah...how many of us have overlooked things that have caused major headaches? Well, 99% of us methinks. Glad you tracked it down, Dan!

I did think it was odd it didn't show up in my Slate Digital AU folder in DP but instead on its own, and that it was named differently in the Components folder, thus having to track it down. 'Betcha they'll fix that after this beta.

Anyway, glad you are good to go...and...I'm still looking forward to slapping this on every track for all projects forthcoming!
Thanks, Chris. Hey, your posts helped a lot.

I'm getting "Crashed Examination Process" with 8.06 and 7.24. Any suggestions before I submit a report to Slate? And yes, I removed the old version before I installed (though I'm not sure where that info came from. I don't see any install notes). ...Could be Snow Leopard thing? Anyone else tried this version with SL?

New version still wipes out previous settings, so it's not worth the hassle for me.

Indeed, I will keep the old version in play and incorporate the new one next week when new material rolls around. I'm curious to explore having every track with an instance on it as I could not before. That was one of my disappointments with the initial release as it was so CPU intensive.
