The import dialog specifically defaults to a simplified menu meant to be easier for newer users to navigate. However it removes some functionality that more experienced users regularly used in their workflow. Some of the functionality actually can be restored via advanced options and adjusting your workflow. The rationale for some of the features being removed is incomprehensible to many though. For example, you can no longer choose to have the memory card automatically ejected after import. So the upgrade does add new functionality and cameras/lenses. Almost all of that is included in both subscription and standalone versions. The update to the upgrade is intended to fix some of the performance issues and bugs introduced by the upgrade. It does not reinstate the import functionality to the previous state. Arguably the first version should never have been released in its original form and what further irritated those unhappy was the nature of the response/apology. Personally I have the latest on my Macbook to test /compare against my main imaging computer (a high end PC) which I am not updating until I have to. Since the Typ 007 is added by the newest I am hoping that they resolve this minor mess before that becomes relevant for me ;-) Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman > Today's Topics: > > 1.
