[APBeta] Just installed beta- oddities I've noticed

[Paul Rodman]

Ooops. I let this one scroll off my screen...

When you first install AP V2 a lot of things might happen in the  
background, which will (initially slow down the app):

a. Conversion of your old DSS Image Cache into the new image database.
b. Constructing the plan wizard database.
c. Checking serial ports (esp. if you have a disconnected Bluetooth  
device)

See if anything is reported at the top right corner of the open plan  
window. Also, you can use Help->Track Threads to see what's running in  
the background. In all the above cases, the threads will eventually  
complete. Some might take up to 30 minutes.

I guess I should probably add some kind of warning that the  
application might be sluggish initially.

As far as the sunrise/set problem - do you have a site defined for the  
open plan? (i.e. Site popup at the top right) If you don't, it's time  
to choose one. If you do, click the little edit button to the right of  
the Site popup and check the Lat/Long/GMT Offset.
