Re: Shadow desktop closes on opening file

Tried 'hiding' the the Shadow directory, but same problem.  However --
this weekend, by accident, I think I found the problem, and NOT
Shadow.  I'm also running DM2, but if I close DM2, Shadow works fine;
restart DM2 and Shadow again closes on open-file.  I emailed Source
Forge, but no answer thus far.  Although I like DM2's features, Shadow
is absolutely essential for my work flow, so -- bye,bye DM2.  I hope
you're right re Nova (I've got two patients who work for Palm, so I've
got feelers with hooks out!!). Greatly appreciate your sticking with
me on this problem.
