Mats, the Readme's have mentioned it & there's Tech Notes & I've mentioned it on this list several times. It IS a really stupid gotcha. It's a legacy of SWA being one of the first Xtras. Sorry it bit you.
TIP: Since d8, if you Insert or Import a member that needs an Xtra (or more), those Xtras will automatically be added to that movie's Xtras list (shown in Modify > Movie > Xtra). Knowing this, one can find out which Xtras needed for each of the member-driven Xtras: In a new movie, clear the Xtra list, then Insert one of the member types you are interested in knowing the Xtras for, then examine the Xtra list again. hth -Buzz At 2:47 PM +0200 10/25/01, Mats Leid� wrote: >Problem solved! > >When my brain had cooled down a bit I realized the topic was perhaps too >off-topic to expect an answer on Lingo-L.
