Yes, if any of the package component permission bit has been flipped, it will create a massive problem. Again, not all the installers available to OSX is clean :-( This problem usually don't surfaces if you gave the same account name to UID501. This is kinda leftover from NeXT NetInfo architecture Apple has been trying to get rid of. But even more so I don't trust copying pref file if the pref file is, against Apple's recommendation, binary instead of XML. And guess what, FinMac pref is a binary one!! Since I have a list of stuff I install on an electric doc, reinstalling everything from the scratch is not that much of a pain in the exchange of the comfort of knowing everything is clean. I always find some apps I never use anymore, y'know. I only give half a day and live happily after. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
