Known issues

The page lists known problems of Sophie in this release. Some of these issues may be cleared up by daily builds, which are available on the downloads page.

Known issues on all platforms

• Web sites using Flash don't work in browser frames and may make Sophie unresponsive.
• Sophie's performance is better on computers when running in Java 6 than it is in Java 5; if your computer has both, make sure that you're using Java 6.
• Autochaining creates new pages but doesn't yet respect layouts.
• Parts of the timeline interface still work incorrectly.
• Not all resources can be exported in their original formats yet.
• Issues with layout redrawing may affect performance.
• Right now, Sophie imports all media larger than 4 Mb by linking to the file, rather than embedding in the book itself. This can cause problems if you want to share Sophie books between computers; if you want to do this, make sure that you select the "embed" option when importing media.

Mac issues

• Currently, downloading a Sophie book in Safari may change the extension from .spbf to .spbf.zip. Remove the .zip suffix; the books will open normally in Sophie.
• The menu bars in the Mac application don't appear in the standard location for Mac applications.

Windows issues

• None currently.

Linux issues

• There may be audio issues on 32-bit Linux systems.
