I've derived a mirror script which reverses this process, converting .fxp presets into equivalent .aupreset Loomerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12668486833714797808noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529687310586713502.post-51849047572385415342012-03-01T18:15:00.001+00:002012-03-01T18:15:07.853+00:00Aspect 1.7.10 now available

We are looking into this, but in the intermin, those affected by this bug can work-around it by switching the preset browser to a modal type dialog. To do this:
