Problems with SP2 - progress report

[AnitaOakley]

Hello,

As several threads have discussed, we have two rather bad issues connected to SP2:

1. Even if you have offline previews built, they won't show in the Media View
2. Asynchronous rendering may get stuck if you page through images in Media View or the Light Table

Microsoft developers have found a fix for offline previews, and it's currently in testing. As soon as we feel confident that the fix does not have any undesirable side-effects, we will release an update.

The asynchronous rendering issue is still under investigation. When we have a fix for it, we'll test and release it as a hotfix as well.

Regards,
Anita Oakley

Something about my general pet peeve, communication. Could we please get build numbers published with releases? That way we would be better off discussing specifics, or handle possible typos or broken installations.

As I mentioned earlier, my installation - invoked via Windows Update - tells me it is SP2 when I look in the Software.CPL but the About box gives me SP1



It also shows a build number, which could be used to ID where the mistake lies. I am now close to convinced it is SP2, simply for the different behaviour of certain tasks, like having a mini-preview with a circular arrow icon while xMedia builds views in the light table etc.

On my Mac systems, 2.0.1 was service pack one.  It jumped to 2.0.2 when service pack two was installed.  You would seem to have SP2 installed.
