Dual monitors?
The workspace for dual monitors takes a little while to set up. I use a pair of 1600x1200 screens side-by-side.The tool bar isn't well placed and wastes valuable pixels but it all works.

D11 no alpha channel on Mac
The alpha channel is part of the TIFF -- it's RGBA -- an image with built-in transparency, not a separate mask, imported as a 32bits/pixel image. The bug is localized because things work correctly on XP and work correctly with a D10 projector on a PowerPC/Mac. They fail to work from a D11 projector for the P... 31 Mar 2008 17:58

Has anyone beta tested the new Dir?
I find it a bit strange that no one on this forum has any information about the "new" Dir! Are there no beta testers here? If not, who is beta testing the software? Certainly they are not planning to release a product that has not been beta tested? I am another user who has been using Dir since v 4.0 and is ... 1 Feb 2008 20:53

Basically it has grown beyond practicality to maintain development on my own and I was wondering what methods others employ to allow team development on a single Director project?
