Actually the conversion was easy, we had one site where the .data and site file were not stored in the "proper" place and GL5 didn't complain but 6 did. Not a big one, but one of many little ones. A bigger one, is FTP, I have several sites where I have a "test" site and "production" site and so i had 2 ftp items per site. That did not work, if I chose a different one than the one I had when I started GL, it gave me a bad port error. For example, I start GL with "test" site as the default, I can FTP to "test" but not "Prod", I get bad port error. If I change to "Prod" exit GL and restart GL, I can now FTP to "Prod" but no longer can to "test". So I found myself several times a day exiting GL just for the purpose of changing the FTP server...quite a pain and I can reproduce that one at will. The biggest one to me happened rarely in GL5 but regularly in GL6, I edit a page in the edit window and all of a sudden I get 20-30 tabs inserted and the format goes totaly wild. In the source window and preview window it looks good. In the edit window it is unreadable with 20+tabs between characters, delete the tabs and the next keystroke no matter what it is, recreates them. I can't reproduce this at will but I have dozens of pages where it happens fairly regularly. In GL5 that was a rare occurence and always because of a bad tag or something from manual editing, a "rewrite source" always fixed it. In GL6 it happens when I do a file new sometimes, not every time but often enough to make it unusable. Several times a day, I will edit a site and click to choose a Action and POOF I am staring at my Windows Desktop, no errors from GL, just poof and I have lost my work and it is gone. Being a old programmer I know the virtues of saving often so I never lose a lot of work but it just goes away and I get to restart GL. That never happened in GL5. Any one of these items I could work around except the "poof" one I guess and even that one I could live with but it was just too many little problems that became a big one...GL5 never had these problems for me. Our boss has told us to get rid of GL6 and go back to GL5, if 6.1 comes out which I doubt we will try it or remain at GL5 and look at DW to see how it would work with our sites.
