Windows users often ignore their TEMP folder.  It’s a junkyard where old files (and folders) live even though the application that created them has long since been shut down.  Well behaved applications keep track of the files they create there and remove them on completion of the task.  However sometimes applications crash, or they just aren’t programmed to clean up after themselves.

Please keep your download information!  You have just paid money for something intangible, why throw away the ability to re-obtain it?  If you fear it might be purged from your email, copy the information and paste it into a text file, stored in a special folder.

Second, assume that what you have downloaded is only good for the present.  If you keep the installable MSI/EXE, the file you are keeping is likely to be revised at any time, even the next day.  While you certainly can keep the executable, do not assume it’s still good a year or two later.  Unless the install was downloaded very recently, always go back to your purchase information and download the latest build of it.

In summary, keep your download and always download the latest build of the add-on you purchased before you install it.

The Coordinate System Select dialog has been improved.  The system location panel is now a floating map viewer, when you select a system from the list it will zoom to the extents of the selected system.  This allows closer examination of the extents of the system, not just the location on a global map.  The rectangular coordinate system area is now filled to make it easier to see.

While the view is displayed, these controls are available.

  • Use the mouse wheel to scroll the map in/out.
  • Press the left mouse button and drag to pan the map as needed.
