atw: Re: SnagIt / Icon rendering problem

Yep. Had the same problem with MS Word crashing when I tried to insert Snagit graphics. Blew me right out of the software and sometime right off the computer. I too resorted to the same work-around - spreading folders all over the place and limiting the number of graphics in each. I thought it was MS Word acting persnickety. Memory is fading on that particular project, but seems to me that allowing Snagit to create its own folder (the new default function), rather than creating a "regular" folder for it, was showing promise. The new updated Snagit, with the compete overhaul in appearance, appears to have developed a few growing pains. Bummer, as I love Snagit and all the new bells and whistles - but hate the new GUI interface and the landmine feature is a real problem.
