Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: One Day

Recommend Product: NO

This version, although superficially nicer to look at etc., has at keast two basic faults:

1. It deletes previous versions, so if you don't like the new one, you have to go and find the old one and reinstall, BUT THERE IS NO WARNING TO THIS EFFECT.

2, Worst of all, it is unable to read indexes from previous versions, nor are there any instructions about how to fix this (other than a vague reference to 'you must update these indexes' - BUT HOW??). This is not signalled upfront either.

It's like all the effort has gone into surface appearance, while basic usability features such as these have been ignored. Poor craftsmanship in a product now in v. 6 that has always had several other flaws in this respect!
