And for those keeping
score, 2008 still crashes on start on my system.
My FinMac2008 crashes very often at its start up on both G5 and
MBP2.4,
and it is caused by corrupted pref file. I now have a zipped Fin pref
file. Every time the crash happens, I have to trash the pref and
unzip
the backup pref file. It is my routine now.
I have had this problem for so long (2007 and 2008) that I have
developed my own defensive routine. I keep a duplicate or two of my
preference files - Finale 2008 Preferences copy - in the same place
that Finale keeps the file (User/Library/Preferences). When Finale
crashes, I trash the corrupted file and rename one of the copies. (For
some reason, this cannot be done by removing the word "copy"; the
whole name must be retyped.) Then I duplicate the new Preferences
file, before opening Finale, to be sure I will have an uncorrupted
copy when I need it. That this cumbersome routine continues through 2
versions does not speak well for the way Finale works with ppc Macs.
Is the problem cured for the Intel Macs?
