Known issues

The page lists known problems of Sophie in this release (Sophie 2.0.4, released 1 March 2010). 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.

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.
• On some Mac OS 10.5 systems, the first time media or a browser frame is inserted, an error may occur. Dismiss this error; all subsequent use of media & browser frames should be fine. This will happen the first time you use the application, but shouldn't happen again.

Windows issues

• There are some issues with layout redrawing on Windows Vista.

Linux issues

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