Leopard Compatibilit
PostPosted: Sat Nov 24, 2007 2:14 am
I've just upgraded to Leopard, I couldn't wait any longer, every other app I use has been verified for Leopard, it was only Silverfast left. I thought I'd report my findings.
Silverfast Ai Studio 6.5.5r2 for Howtek 4500.
Firstly, the app does run, but there are problems :
1 - the app is *still* not a universal binary, and runs under rosetta.
2 - the settings seem to like getting corrupted. e.g.
when first installing, I set the scanner to scan positive transparencies. I went into the General panel, and the Options dialogs, to change the ICC settings. I specified the correct ICC profile for transparencies on the scanner. I did a pre-scan, and upon looking in the Options again, the ICC profile was greyed out for transparencies. I could not then make any changes to the settings, as the app claimed I had the wrong setting there of "2 pixels" in the ICC field. Now obviously, there is no such setting in there, so I think the checks are getting a bit confused.
Lastly, after having run for about an hour with Silverfast, the machine spontaneously shutdown, instantly. I cannot determine for sure if this was related to Silverfast, so I will have to do some more checking, but the machine had been running happily for hours beforehand.
Hoping for a Universal Binary (only 2 years late!) and Leopard compatibility soon please!
If you want me to test anything, you have only to ask.
