• Bug Number: UDevC00165571. (Macintosh) The keyboard settings were not mapping properly
with foreign keyboards.
• Bug Number: UDevC00166734. You might have received an Assertion error after performing
an auto correction when in Color Correction mode.
• Bug Number: UDevC00166524. You might have received a “Runtime” error when dragging a
closed bin from the Project window to an opened bin window.
• Bug Number: UDevC00166305. When in Color Correction mode, the parameter sliders did not
display properly.
• Bug Number: UDevC00166628. If you used the tab key to navigate through the workspaces
dropdown menu, you might have received a Segmentation fault error.
• Bug Number: UDevC00155359. Attic files were not being deleted after the maximum number
of files was reached. The maximum attic files number is set in the Bin Settings window. If you
have a project attic that is over the maximum setting by a small number of files, the next time
you perform a save after installing this patch, the excess attic files will be deleted (oldest files
first) and a thermometer will appear showing the deletion progress.
If you have a project attic that is significantly over the maximum files setting, the next time your
perform a save after installing this patch, the editing application will rename the existing project
attic with a “__OLD” name and a new project attic will be created. A dialog will be displayed
stating that the attic has been renamed and lists the path to the renamed folder. Customers are
responsible for verifying the contents of the “__OLD” attic folder and for deleting it to free up
disk space. The newly created project attic will adhere to the maximum setting in the Bin
Settings window. The settings affect the file count for project-level attics. The overall Avid Attic
can be significantly higher, depending on the number of projects stored on the system.
Note that these settings are per project and not for the entire attic folder. The entire Attic folder
has multiple projects.
