- I've contacted the author (on GEnie), and he is aware of the problem. It
- seems that it happens with GA+SP but not with plain GA. The problem has to
- do with the following: if you view a file, exit, and restart LstPM, it's
- supposed to reload that file. That works if the file exists; it hangs if
- the file isn't there. It works fine for drag-and-drop, though.
-
- The earlier version, by the way, works fine.
