happy to say that Tony "fixed" all my issues. I used to always click on all files so I could see what was available to open, now in 5.0, I have to click on the type of file I want to open. it is a little bit of a pain as I liked being able to see all the files as customers send a ton some times. the size issues when reducing a file to do a paper proof and then going to full size is being addressed.
thanks for the help!
