Don't think I've ever dealt with such a buggy, crappy program--particularly one that is so critical to the process it's designed for. The current snafu: Collabowriter -- a terrific feature in theory, and a useless one in practice. Leaving aside that connecting works about once ever dozen tries and that crashes are commonplace, my favorite new issue: Though both parties are using FD8, we can't collabowrite because we didn't have the same version. Ok, I had 8.01 and she had 8.02. So I had to go through the idiotic process of upgrading, which then requires yet another call to tech support to ACTIVATE all over again. And I suppose if that were it and all was solved, it'd be annoying but forgivable. But of course that doesn't fix the problem because now we don't have the same BUILD number. Are you kidding me? The builds were released two weeks apart.
Every experience I've ever had with this company has been a bad one (which seems odd given that they're in a tiny niche market.)
If only Google would assign a few of their techies to create a decent script writing program and put them out of business...
my controversial book about a day in my life as Public Defender in the South Bronx is finally available for Kindle and Ipad.

No thanks to Final Draft I recently completed another script BUT this will be MY LAST using Final Draft. What a mine field of problems. I'm through having to jump through hoops enough for me to actually get work done without having to "baby" final draft! It skips all over the place, can't handle changes - a nightmare.
