I have issues with a new 2.8 license install on a 8.1 windows machine, so I have my older licence on my laptop and no issues.
There was a enhancement to a macro issued the other day on the Facebook group, another option for the rotate macro. Most of the action is over on the Facebook group now instead of the forum. The developers are not too active on the forum now with the support@lightshowpro being their preferred method.
No official updates on the rewrite just some rumors and between the lines reading.
There are a few neat macro combinations up on my site (google lsp macro cookbook) and if you came up with any others that are neat links I would be happy to add them. I found it hard to remember exactly how I did something 2 sequences and weeks later so made the cookbook to make it easier to share and re-create them.
The other hobbist software out there is still chasing abilities LSP had for years, anxious to see what they cook up for version 3!
