What's Fixed in Pro Tools M-Powered 7.3.1cs8?

• After installing Apple Security Update 2008-008 for Mac OS X 10.4.11 (released December 15, 2008), the Pro Tools icon would bounce in the Dock but the application would not launch.
  

• The thinning algorithm could mistakenly classify a breakpoint as redundant
  

• If a plug-in window was closed from a control surface while the plug-in window was being dragged across the screen, Pro Tools would quit unexpectedly.
  

• This problem was intermittent.
  

• The "constrain" command (Control+Trimmer) would not work under certain editing situations involving overlap/underlap.
  

• Pro Tools would continue to play while the GUI was frozen, with intermittent plug-in automation and MIDI playback, and then unfreeze.
  

• Note that the Workspace/Project browser displayed the correct time stamp information.
  

• Although this could occur while editing or recording over regions, the problem was most evident when QuickPunching over existing regions.
  

• After the play command, the Play and Stop buttons flash, but Pro Tools does not play
  
• Repeated attempts may result in a successful play
  
• Note: Pro Tools 7.3.1cs8 fixes some, but not all occurrences of this issue. Digidesign will continue to investigate additional fixes for this issue.
  

• Audio files would not have a Unique ID assigned to them
  
• An assertion, "FF AudioProperty.cpp, line 33" would be thrown when overviews were being calulated
  
• Audio could be unreadable by Pro Tools
  

• Pro Tools cannot access the time stamp information in Spot mode
  

• This would occur if the previewed audio was the result of a search. Note that clicking on the waveform was not problematic.
  

• This would occur if the preference "Default Region Color Coding" was set to "Marker locations."
  

• This would occur if no automation had been written on the Send.
  

• As long as the session remained open, it would still playback correctly and with all playlists intact. The problem would not be observed until the session was closed and reopened.
  
• Any AutoBackup files created would have the same problem when subsequently opened.
  

• If the bounce duration exceeded the length of the video clip, the resulting movie would be stretched to fit the selection, resulting in a time-stretched picture.
