You seem a teeny bit defensive. Had a tough day?

Perhaps you didn't understand the implications when I said I had forty years experience in the field. Or perhaps I underestimated you. Either way: The latest version of Limewire DOES NOT OPEN iTunes. Not only did I enable iTunes support, I disabled the Limewire player. Perhaps if you had taken a moment or two to verify the problem I took the time to report, before getting pissy about the fact that I did and snapping back a snide answer, it would be fixed by now.

<<It transfers only newly downloaded songs to iTunes. Files that you already have on the Disk stay entirely untouched by "iTunes Support".>>

=sigh= Let me see if I can make this clear: When you double click on a newly downloaded song—one that's sitting in the transfer window—with iTunes support enabled and the Limewire player disabled, the song is played by the Limewire player. I'll let you decide if that's a bug or a feature. I'm just reporting the problem in case someone at your end gives a damn.




Take a look at this and open then ~/Library/Preferences/LimeWire/limewire.props in TextEdit. As a computer professional with forty years in the computer field with experience from logic design to programming you should be able combine the information you see in both files.



OK



<<Did you upgraded Java to 1.4.2_05 (recent Java Update)?>>

According to the system profiler I'm running 1.4.2. Since I'm getting my updates via the software update feature I assume I'm on the latest version of Java. That would make sense because Limewire is the only fully java app I'm running.



<<That is utter crap and an insulting for everyone who is participating on LimeWire.>>

Feel free to be insulted when someone suggests that you need to test your software more completely—and with a formal test plan. If we ignore the memory problem, the fact remains that you released a version of software in which preferences weren't copied over, the player doesn't follow the checkbox, the contextual menues don't dismiss properly, and files vanish when transferring from download to verify status. You may call them features, but when I was chief engineer I called them bugs.
