thanks for the info... no i haven't tried dragging to and from the browser. i'll give that a shot tomorrow. - thanks. i was afraid that it would be a problem with the new os, but i have a solution to the jagaur issue... when i first got my new machine at work, i just gutted my old one, taking the ata drives out and sticking them in the new box. when i turned the machine on, it booted in 10.1.5 off of my old disk. i didn't even notice it for a couple of minutes. everything worked fine, although jaguar is much faster. so if you load 10.1.5 on another disk, or a partition of a disk, you could select a different start-up drive and still use carrara in osx and still be able to take advantage of multi-processing. plus, since near as i can tell, c2 is still about as unstable as c1, it sure pays to be running in x, since you don't have to restart after every crash. hopefully the new patch will come out soon. has anyone got any idea as to the time table?
