I decided not to wait to update to El Capitan. I can't confirm if there is still a problem with the dialog boxes that cause Finale to crash because I am to start the program. I was told that I need an older version of Java. When I clicked the link, I got this information:
"Java for OS X 2015-001 installs the legacy Java 6 runtime for OS X 10.11 El Capitan, OS X 10.10 Yosemite, OS X 10.9 Mavericks, OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, and OS X 10.7 Lion. "This package is exclusively intended for support of legacy software and installs the same deprecated version of Java 6 included in the 2014-001 and 2013-005 releases." I can wait for the planned November Finale update, but I'm curious to know if that will "fix" the requirement that we have the old version of Java. Java has had tons of security issues, so I'm uncomfortable about using an old, "vulnerable" version. Does anyone know if the update will also solve the Java issue?
