I can not confirm crashes at all. I have used Version-5 for 4 years on Tiger, and Leopard 10.5.1 to 10.5.5 and can't recall a crash. And now I tested Version 6.0.6 and imported well, also without difficulty. With all the data it collects, it may be slow in comparison to a program that only notes the name of files.

I have not needed picture cataloging previously, but now I probably will, and if Server support from Clients works well, this seems a good possibility. Localized versions seem very expensive though.
