You're not the only one; I always do a repair permissions on any install or upgrade. Takes so little time to do.

This may be in anticipation of the release for the next Mac OS X system ?

The funny thing is that I have to do the exact same thing in Pro Tools *after* exporting my file from DP ;) 23.976 sessions are exported at 24. I have to manually change them in Pro Tools and re-export with PT, then they stay at 23.976. Annoying but there are worse things in life I guess ;)

I haven't had a crash in years when importing AAF/OMF files - just dragging them on the chunks window works every time.

You mean the DP file is just the generic blank icon right? If so, that happened to me as well.

Interesting sequence of events: when I first loaded DP9 when it came out I had the DP icon then somewheres down the line it went to the blank icon. Then I had to do a reinstall of DP9 because of certain issues and I got the DP9 icon back. Now it's gone again.
Correct. According to the notes it was fixed:
• [Mac] Correctly install the DP9 document icons.
But it's still broken for me (and for you it seems).

I see this on documents with 9.01, and saw it for all DP documents as soon as I installed 9.00. Doesn't the document adopt an icon according to its associated default application? Is that DP 9 in the case of your documents?

Since I installed DP9, I get the generic blank white icon for the DP documents. DP 9.01 does not seem to have resolved it, at least for me.

You tell me. I haven't got a clue, but every DP release requires a permission repair in my experience and it HAS fixed a lot of issues in the past for me.
I haven't copied the exact permissions it repairs every time but I saw nothing new. I checked a couple of old threads and it's close enough to the ones that you and I have posted for DP 8.

It's always Repaired “Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/MAS”

I wanted to refer to the fact that the Repair Permissions became automatic under El Capitan, next Mac OS X system. Hence the notion of anticipation ... :|

DP9 is the default for all my DP project documents. Like I mentioned I had it in DP9, it went away and came back when I re-installed DP9 (download and not the dvd file). Went away when I installed DP9.01; repairing permissions didn't help.

So, I have read the entire thread and only Killahurts seems to be happy with the update.
Is DP 9.01 ready for primetime?
In resume, it seems like DP9.01 still have some problems, despite the long list of things Motu fixed.

Right now DP8.07 is very stable on my system and I'm not sure if this update worth it, I can live without the "mute MIDI note" and the floating plug in features.

I had some very embarrassing moments with DP9

Huh? There's quite a few people happy with the update. I think you need to read the thread again.

All good here. Are you speaking from personal experience or relying on secondhand accounts for your data?

I'm refering to some posts that reads that there are some problems with the "Showing takes" that dissapear, or some posts reading that icons doesn't show the DP logo, or posts saying that DP forgets when you have folder closed and when you open a project again they appear all opened and you have to manually close them again.
Some reported a few crashes.
