[kepler-users] Bug with saving actors to library

Tue Feb 2 10:28:42 PST 2010

Are you trying to save a kar in 2.0 and open it into 1.0?  If so that 
won't work.  The kar file formats have changed significantly.

If there is a bug in 1.0, I'd recommend you upgrade to the newest SVN 
version.  We are no longer fixing bugs for 1.0.
