I've just got my HD and installed System Software Version 5.1 =
System B1-4.3, Finder B1-6.0 (UK). Now MultiScrap is sloooow!
On clicking in the scroll bar the next picture comes up fast
and then MS takes ages to write "n of m" and "pict/bmap" etc
before it will move to the next entry. Has anybody else had this
problem? Is there a solution - I tried making a new scrapbook
instead of using an old one (made under System 3.2), no luck.
Is there a new better MS replacement somebody could send me, or
do I have to go and finsihed my LSP project to write one myself?
Thanks in advance, email replies and I'll summarize if it looks
useful.
Nigel

I ran into this *very* annoying problem when I first got my hard drive. No, there isn't a new version of MultiScrap out that solves the problem. Yes, there is a solution, but it costs -- buy SmartScrap, which is basically a very fast MultiScrap with two added features: a) it saves in standard ScrapBook style scrapbooks, and b) it will show you a catalog of everything in the scrapbook (not very handy for text, but very handy for graphics).
