Hi all I've been given a file archived as a .zap file. I've gone to the emagic site and Zap's no longer there. If anyone can help extract the file, please reply personally to witsend@... Cheers Clive Young

Hi, I've had something strange happen since I've moved from a G4 tower over to my new Powerbook. The custom icons for Logic and Logic song files are missing. While the icons being gone is not that big of a deal, since this has happened I can't start Logic by just double clicking a song file. I have to load up Logic first and then select open to start the song. Also this has happened to my waveshell-vst as well and I can't select or load it via the vst plugins menu in Logic. Any ideas what's going on? Logic 4.8 15" 1Ghz Titanium Powerbook Mac Os 9.2 . . . . arik . . . .

Hi, you have to rebuild your desktop..

However the usual method for doing so makes use of the existing desk top file and if this has been corrupted it may not help. For this reason it is best to throw out this file and start fresh. You do so by getting the free version of Tech Tool, which can do just that plus the complete rebuild. Bob Vandiver

In the master folder with the Logic6 application, there also has to be another folder called "Emagic Resources" and in this folder another folder called "Icons" (with many .png icon files) I have experienced the bug that double-clicking on the song doesn't open any version of Logic. And sometimes a bug where it opens an OLDER version of Logic (it's supposed to search for the newest version - this goes for any Mac application). I simply boot Logic directly first. f-erenc szabo, smarty pants Z+E+R+O+B+E+A+T "NOW POWERED BY THE MIRACLE OF THE TRANSISTOR!"

That's the only way I've ever managed to Retrieve the Icons . Max

> Logic 6 is the first version with custom icons. Hi, Sorry, I was tired so not specific enough with my use of language. By custom Icons I meant the Icons that Logic 4.8.1 was installed with and the icon that it created for its song files. IE, not the generic pencil on a envelope that the program wound up with or the blank white sheet the songs became. But thank you again as you've many many many times over posted info to this list that has been helpfull to me. . . . . arik . . . . http://www.anomalousrecords.com/nom22.html

Tech Tool kept crashing so I downloaded Trash€Desktop 1.3.1 (freeware) which deletes the desktop files as well and this seemed to do the trick. After that i still had vanilla Icons but my Powerbook booted up much more quickly so I just reinstalled both Logic and Waves and suddenly my creative process was back to "normal". Thank you!!!! :) . . . . arik . . . . http://www.anomalousrecords.com/nom22.html
