Containers in OSX: double clicking crashes

[Hubie]

In prior versions, double-clicking a container field launched an audio recording function. Now in FM7, it unceremoniously crashes the whole program. Are sound clippings no longer supported at all? Trying to insert "Sound" from the menu also crashes FM7. On the other hand, using Insert Quicktime allows me to insert and then play an mp3 file. No mention of any of this in the manual's index. Has anyone had these issues?

Also, I can insert files like doc and PDF, but to open them requires me to go through a two step export process that saves the openable copy of the file somewhere else. I can't drag files, mp3s or pictures in or out (I used to be able to drag jpegs and sound clippings), nor open files by double clicking on their icon in the container.

I just find it kind of odd that these drag/drop/open and sound clippings features are available in a $40 program like NoteTaker and not FM7. Disappointed. I appreciate any feedback.

I have no suggestions, but the same thing has happens in my program. Hopefully they will fix it with a v3 update.

An interesting insight - after a friend reported this problem running FMP v6.0v2, tests on my own Mac resulted in the same symptoms in FMP v6.0.4 and 7.0v2. Both Macs are running OS 10.3.5. What OS versions were you two running?

Thanks for replying, Ellsworth. I too am using OS X.3.5. and just realized that the recording problem extends to FM 6 as well as FM 7. Not sure if the FM 6 problem is a result of having FM 7 installed on the same computer or whether it's the upgrade from OS X.2 to OSX.3. The problem with FM 6 occurs even when FM 7 is not running.

I am running OS 10.3.5 and have FM 6 installed and running. Recorded a sound to a container and played it back without a problem. You might try updating to FM 7.3.
