I'm sorry for the long post.
Yesterday I downloaded the ActivStudio2 update including driver. Two strange things happened. The first is that suddenly my computer and board would not communicate restart after restart. I narrowed that down to the new driver which caused that problem. I have since reinstalled and kept the old driver but updated the software.
The second strange thing was that I was working on a flipchart today and decided I wanted to split it into three separate flipcharts instead of one giant one. I have used this process many times with the older version of ActivStudio2. I proceeded to SaveAs... from the original for a different copy. I then SaveAsed again and got a third copy, and then SaveAsed again and had the fourth copy (the original was now SaveAsed into 3 parts that I wanted to work on separately). I then began working on the last copy, beginning by deleting the pages which had to do with the other two sections.
What happened was that when I went back to look at the other 2 flipcharts AND the original it had mystically applied the same changes (deletions) to the other flipcharts as I had just made on the last copy. :eek: I tried closing the files and reopening them and they still showed pages deleted which shouldn't have been. I looked at the original file's information in the FINDER and it showed that it had NOT been saved for about 15 minutes (which made perfect sense because I had not saved these changes to the original flipchart) but when each was opened, somehow they all had pages missing. :confused: I quit the program, started it up again and reopened the files and everything was back to the way it should be :D, but that was the oddest thing I had ever experienced with ActivStudio2. Any other quirks to be aware of? I use an ibook G4 btw...
