heh-heh....that was funny, Marc ~ "but forgot to termi...." well done. i've actually been needing some humor. my participation on a couple of political blogs seems to have sucked the humor from my life....
at any rate. as you know, i got the full version up and running the other night. i haven't had time to sit down and do anything with it, but this morning, i sat down to start work on the archive discs i skipped before you added in the "XMP autonomy" option. i don't think this was literally the first time the shipping version (2.1.01) had run on this system, but it was the first time it had run after rebooting the computer sometime yesterday.
on startup, it prompted me that a new version was available:
i pressed "OK" on this dialog, went to the Help menu, and clicked "Check for Update", because i can't read directions. doing so re-prompted me with the same new-version prompt!
this dialog does not come up now when i re-launch IIP -- at least not in this current Windows session. however, whenever i click on "Help/Check for Update", it does.
{edit}....and i perceive belatedly that this action of "Check for Update" might be WAD, but if an update is available, one would kind of expect it to pop the default browser to your download page, i guess is all i'm saying. i just ingested several hundred archived files with pre-existing XMP data with no glitchies. thank you SO much for that!{re-edit}....eventually making my way to your download page, i see that the WinXP/Vista version is now at 2.1.04 -- there's a discrepancy with that on your home page, which is where the "Help/ImageIngester Web Site" link takes a person! when i'd clicked that link before and saw on your home page that the version was still 2.1.01, i assumed that this was a bug. now i see it's actually not, but i'll leave this up here for everyone's chuckle-factor!{side note: check out the Destination field: now you can see how geeky i got with testing, LOL....}
