Annoyances

  1. Printing Contact Sheets is slow.  This is because the Java printer driver calls the print routine about 10 times - obviously slow.  This behavior was previously reported in Java bug report 4950987 for Java 1.4.  Sun did not recognize it as a bug.  I plan to report this to Sun once I finish testing with Java 1.6.

  2. On rare occasions the file list gets in a mode where you can not select anything and there is some jumpiness.  The quick fix for this is to go to full screen and then back.

  3. When you select all and then try to drag from the file list, the selection is lost.  The correct files are dragged, but the loss of selection is disconcerting.  A work around it to hold CTRL down before starting the drag.  This is caused by a Java feature - see Java bug 4468566.  Java 6 will enable this problem to be fixed; unfortunately, I have many users stuck on Java 4 (the last version for OS2/Warp).

  4. If you change (grow, shrink, rotate) your camera pictures in the main viewer and save them, the metadata (EXIF) information which your camera stored with the picture will be lost.  This does not affect the image quality, but could make it harder for some image manipulation programs to automatically enhance your pictures quality.  It also make it impossible to rename the file using the EXIF information.  So do renames before doing rotations.  Java bug 4339463 is an approved request for enhancement to provide this functionality.  It was originally scheduled for Java 6, but as of May 2006 had not been implemented.
