Pretty sad actually but it has been over a week and still no response to my urgent request for help.

:blue: Indeed still W98 at work, Mark

but at home switching to OsX (goodbye HomeSite).

I *do* like the 2nd file directory window - probably the sole reason I upgraded.

I *despise* the "Edit Image with Fireworks" option coming up before "Edit Current Tag" on rightclick of an image - I'm pretty sure that was new with 5.0 and I'm still not used to it. I'm constantly opening Fireworks accidentally.

ooh, ohh! I also hate that when you look up images, it automatically filters between gif and jpg. What if I want both?

I'm sure there are more peeves. The day is young

Jack, what OS are you running? It sounds like W98 with the out of resource messages.

It's sad but it has now been over 48hrs. and my urgent plea for help to Macromedia support via email is still unanswered.

Heck, at least ImageStyler is a version 1 graphics app - what excuse does a hopped-up text editor have for being so resource intensive?

Yeah, another leaky Adobe program is ImageReady. When I have HomeSite 4.5 and ImageReady running, within 15 minutes I always get the 'Out of resources'-error in Homesite and ImageReady just crashes.
Not to speak of the combination of HomeSite and Delphi 5.0/6.0

Hmm. I didn't even know there *was* an upgrade. I still see nothing there addressing the fact that the program is a massive resource hog - that's all I want them to fix really, otherwise I'm happy.

I tried to upgrade to Homesite 5 but the site wouldn't even accept my credit card (and that was after I switched browsers three times until I was actually able to use the site!)

Thanks, I use homesite 5 also. Don't know what I would do without it.
