Re: [Finale] those damn corrupted finale pref files again...
FinMac 2012 We have noticed that, since the upgrade to 2012, Finale does definitely seem to get bogged down after several hours of use. The time it takes for a field to become selectable - in the page format dialog window for instance - has increased from nothing to 2-3 seconds, which is a major PITA when your workflow requires this to be done every few seconds. A reboot seems to help for a while - until things start to get slower again ... Eric eric.f.fied...@t-online.de Sent from my iSomething ...

Re: [Finale] those damn corrupted finale pref files again...
hi eric thanks, have you reported this? the answers i have gotten so far don't seem to be of the sort we will look into this but more the typical MakeMusic bandaid approach to trouble shooting. and of course sometimes it is clear they haven't read my message attentively and are at least partly responding on auto-pilot. one thing that i found out accidentally (after deleting my prefs file) was that the file maintenance was off. i let it delete, rebooted and the file is running smoother. do you have Clean Up File Data in the programme options (open tab) checked? if you don't, give it a try and let me know if it works.

Re: [Finale] those damn corrupted finale pref files again...
I keep a copy of my current prefs close and an alias of the proper folder, so I can trash and replace with minimal fuss. I trashed prefs with AppleWorks once, but Finale seems to need it with remarkable frequency. I seem to go in waves; for example, it has been rare over the last few months, but it was every few days for a month or so before that.

It does happen from time to time with InDesign. Finale 2012 has been the worst version as far as corruption of pref files goes. I've never seen the corruption leading to the app becoming bogged down.
