[Valentina-studio] Valentina studio questions

Hi Greg,

It IS still beta. All versions so far has had a limit of 10 minutes 
build in. This is the case because the Valentina Kernel needs 
registration to work longer than 10 minutes.
Old versions of Valentina Studio didn't mentioned this limitation - and 
this was bad because after 10 minutes strange thinks could happen. Now 
- starting with a45 Valentina
Studio reminds you on this limitation during startup - and - because it 
can handle
registration now you can completly remove this limit. Details about 
registration will
be send to this list next week.

Yes! The a45 build was indeed very unstable! And i have been working on
this issue for the last week. The new build a46 - which will be 
available tomorrow -
will be much much more stable!!!

This is because the new format of the Valentina Preference database is 
not compatible
with OLD versions of the program. But this is not a show stopper for 
you. Greg, simply
trash "vsPrefsDB" - it is a folder in your home directory. Just search 
for a folder with
this name and move it to the trash. After that the old program should 
launch again.
