Hello all, I'm working on my first FinMac2005b project in OSX (Man...are there times I miss FinMac 2002b and OS 9!). I got a great deal on a G5 (non Intel iMac) for my home studio and have finally made the jump to Finale for OSX. In terms of speed relative to FinMac 2002/OS 9.2 running on a G4, let's just say I'm a bit disappointed. There are several things about the FinMac 05 interface that just feel "slower and stiffer" (e.g, delays on selection of items with the Selection Tool, etc.) with the G5. I know this is not new news to the list, but man, it's frustrating to ride an upgrade path that features a ever slowing version of the program. I would think the 2005b running on a G5 would SMOKE FinMac 02 on a G4. Get your code together, MakeMusic!
OK...venting over. I've been trying to get my project file to automatically open with FinMac 2005b without automatically launching the Finale 2006 Demo also installed on my hard drive. I execute a "Get Info"...scroll down to the "Open With" scroll down menu, select "Finale 2005b", and close the window. All is well for rest of that work session. However, as soon as I log out or restart I'm back to square one...double clicking on the project file auto-launches the Finale 2006 Demo. How do I get the file to "remember" the "Open With" association? In other news... Any Finale-listers attending the International Jazz Composition Symposium in Tampa this week?
