Still getting this problem...

You had to be the one finding this one! :-) I have known it from day one and was surprised nobody reported it before. It can only happen to someone who (1) has used FitalyStamp before (2) had defined custom left-slides. The data-base for custom left slides checks for the parent application and finds FitalyVirtual instead of FitalyStamp...

An easy fix is to uninstall FitalyStamp. In any case we will correct the error in the final release.

Hmm. I deleted both FitalyStamp and beta #1 of FitalyStamp Virtual before installing beta #2 of FitalyStamp Virtual. So, from what you said above, I shouldn't still be seeing this problem. I am, however. Is there some particular database that I need to delete that contains the custom slide information?

PS. Harlan Mills used to tell this story about finding out how many bugs there are in a program: How do you count fishes in a lake? You catch a 100, mark them with a red spot, release them in the lake. Then a week later, you catch another 100 and count how many red spots you get.

His idea was that you introduced known bugs and see how many of them would be reported :)

Good, time-honored testing theory. I've been known to do the same thing to test how well people were reviewing my code in a code review. (Unfortunately, the typical answer was: Not Very Well.)
