Hello,

Does anybody tried it under Windows 7 ?
I did and found :
- The program is very slow or seems to be very slow (Refresh seems to hang very frequently)
- The program seems to hang very easily (Although it is reported to be running)

Any help would be appreciated as this is the only software I have troubles with.

I will check my database which is quite big. This might be the answer !!!

Regards,

Thierry

Can you please try an updated version:

http://www.metaproducts.com/download/betas/opsetup.exe

Regarding slow downloads - please try to change the state of the "Use alternative connection method" box on the Internet tab of the Ribbon. This may help.

Moving the window - by default it maximizes itself, perhaps, you need to click a button to Restore it first.

Hangup - this might be because of autosaving the configuration. You may turn it off or make it less frequent in the Advanced - Files...

Best regards,

Hello,
Thanxs for the details. I will try the beta.
FIY, most of the issues disappeared when I moved the download directory from my CubeStation to a USB hard disk. It seems that OE may have some issues with the CubeStation (Synology) network protocol.
With thanxs and regards,
Thierry

Yes, network drives are slower, especially when dealing with lots of file writes in multiple directories.
