The developers have NOT addressed the issue. If they had it would no longer be happening on MY software. I am not reporting bugs so they can be fixed in another product ie MM4. I bought MM3 - I paid the Lifetime because I did not know what shape or form MM4 or 5 etc would take at that time and I wanted to provide my support to the fullest extent.
I really object to the overall tone now. Effectively I am told, if you want this to go away you have to wait for an indefinite period and use a different program with a different set of features. I had to go through a significant testing process to get permission for MM3 on my works machine, I am not going to go through all that again just to load its replacement when MM3 does - or that should read 'did' exactly what I wanted.
So to restate my case. There is a problem in MM3 and it is MM3 I want to use, not MM4 - particularly as that vers contains video capabilities which for my PC almost certainly makes it a no go install for our management, making the solution offered useless. - Even MS media players have been stripped from our work@home PC's and we are regularly audited.
It appears there is no appetite to resolve the issue in MM3, it's MM4 or nothing. For me that has to be nothing. If you think that being unhappy at losing my favourite piece of software, which went a long way to making my day a bit less of a drudge is unreasonable, then OK, the cap fits.
oldbwl, even if your words were spoken in frustration, I think you are speaking for many of us MM3 users.
For many many months we have been reassured that the fixes will be out soon. I think we all were reasonably expected something for last Christmas, but no. We are now in second quarter of this year, and..., well, and nothing.
