Glad to see a few annoying bugs fixed in this release candidate.

Thanks, Ian.  That's good news.  I see a lot of the bugs I've experienced are being addressed.  Now I'll also be waiting on the performance improvements for the localized corrections (2.2?).  

I'm going to wait for 2.1 to be fully baked and formally released as an update before installing though.

Although I posted this on the Adobe forum, I'll repeat it here:

So far I've tried the following things that I've had problems with before.  Each one seems fixed:

1. Hanging on auto white balance.
2. "Three dot indicator." Much faster.
3. "Two-step undo problem." I always wondered if this was pilot error! Does not seem to happen any more.
4. Although I have no way to quantify this, it immediately seems much faster...

Awesome!  I'm trying it right now - many of the issues fixed are things I ran into...no show stoppers but this should make a great improvement!

Does it hose my database in any way?  In other words if I run this will I lose anything once the real 2.1 comes out?

No, it doesn't.

But backup your database anyways.

A lot less spinning wheels and switching between modules is much faster. I also find the local brush much more responsive (on a MacBook Pro). No crash so far.

Has anyone tried the 'open in PSCS3' without using the workaround of using open with photoshop.exe as alternative editor.  This was bug for many with PCs.

Same here. I'll wait as well.

Just got through two shoots worth of work on it - much faster, no issues whatsoever.

The edit in CS3 was never an issue for me, still works fine.

Diane,
I can't say, I'm using a Mac and I never experienced the issue.

As others have reported, much better performance. No more spinning beach balls on my Mac, even when processing 39 MP files from my Phase One P45+. I can even have other apps open now with no obvious slowdown. Thank you Adobe.

I had that problem as well, so I just tested it.  I am happy to report that it appears to be fixed!

Windows XP, I am seeing little benefit if any so far. If anything mouse movements appear slower to respond, apparent in more intensive actions like red eye adjustment.

Thanks---that wasn't a huge issue for me since I did use the workaround, but that was one thing that was talked about at length on the Adobe LR forum.  I haven't gotten around to dling 2.1 but will install it in the next day or so.  I love 2.0 even with the bugs, so this will be terrific.

Just loaded LR into a new desktop and had this problem which was fixed by updating the video driver. David
