Subject: Astor IIDC Tiger Compatibility
Hi Folks;
A few people have asked about Tiger compatibility.
Yes, Astro IIDC 1.02.00 is Tiger compatible.
The only problem we have encountered is a cosmetic issue with the
Histogram display area when it's not actively being filled with
Monochrome or RGB wiggly lines.
This is due to is a really awful bug in Image Well object for
Interface Builder where part of the image well goes transparent and
you can see the back of the dialog. This did not happen in the Tiger
Betas, and was introduced around the GM release build that none of us
smaller Select or Premier (paying) developers saw (my devloper copy of
the GM only arrived here yesterday).
It's been worked around in Astro IIDC 2.0 - but it's a really hideous
and grossly apparent bug.
And this is why so much software is broken with Tiger (and with
Panther and with Jaguar etc.). It's due to Apple changing things at
the last minute, without any regard to 3rd party developers or proper
testing procedures.
Have a nice weekend..
PS:
The other issue I've seen to date that Tiger seems to be about 10%
slower at CPU intensive tasks than Panther was, so I'm not convinced
this is a "good upgrade" for the money.
