iWork '08: Keynote 4.0.1, Pages 3.0.1 and Numbers 1.0.1

Does this fix the problem with closing one Pages document, and the whole app crashes?
It's been happening since I installed it, and it's driving me nuts!

It is most definitely Cocoa, otherwise the Dictionary wouldn't work with it. Or the Media browser. Or the cross-application stuff with the other two iWork '08 Applications.
Its package is also organized in the way Cocoa organizes .app packages. If it was Carbon, it wouldn't be a package, nor would it be Universal.
I have had trouble with keynote crashing out when pasting large images in...hopefully that's been addressed...we'll see

put Pages, Numbers, and Keynote in the iWork '08 folder. the iWork '08 folder obviously goes in the Applications folder. then check Software Update.
Thanks. I deleted that folder. I just added a new folder and named it iWork '08 and it worked. Thanks
Exactly. Plus why would Apple bother creating an app in carbon when they have made it quite clear time and time again that Cocoa is the preferred development framework for creating Mac OS X applications that are true first class citizens.
But then they'll go crazy and die, and no more updates
Also, the quality of updates will be a little random.
I'm an engineer, and has been encouraged to take the "Death March" approach before and it always ends up in problems.
That is nonsense.
Carbon apps can be (and should be) .app packages. They can also be universal.
That's why I used the smiley or is it smilie?
So true, but isn't it maddening that that level of mis-information still exists after 6+ years of Mac OS X?
iWeb Publishing Issues
I really do hope this 2.0.2 release fixes publishing issues.
I've been just getting killed on many publishing attempts. Really annoying as well since the publishing error doesn't happen until the very end.
You know the kind where you are about to walk away thinking all is great...and then bam...sorry there was an error publishing to .mac....please try again.

Have any of you guys been having trouble with Keynote displaying pdf files incorrectly. I haven't tried the update yet but Keynote 08 would display many of my pdf files as transparent and drop many of the graphic elements.
For instance a graph in a pdf file which displays fine in preview or Acrobat reader, once moved to a keynote slide would turn transparent and the graphed line would be gone.
I have been disappointed with the entire iwork series since the original release. The package always appears to be polished on the outside, but as soon as you put the apps through more rigorous use they disappoint with bugs and quirks. Until recently Keynote seemed to be the least troublesome application however even Keynote is disappointing in 08.
Finally!
Wow! It is about time that iWeb '08 functions properly without crashing. It updated my previous iWeb created site and now Web Gallery is also working!
I'm a happy camper again!!!
Yeah it works!!!!! Believe me I **feel your pain**. I too, was having these problems but this update finally fixed it!!!
(As you can tell I am very, very, very happy; as my final recourse was the start from scratch and I would lose a lot of information).

iWeb 2.0.2
Did anyone else have to reselect your Domain file once this update was applied? I hate having to do that every time I update.

Yea, I was very happy to see that this worked too. Now I'll certainly be keeping my blog up to date more... I didn't go down your path, but was certainly having things go stale...
No I didn't, but I think with a .Mac account, this doesn't matter. Sorry, but got very assimilated.
Thanks for the many updates, but I still cannot open my 1.0.2 domain using iWeb 2.0.2. I don't understand why my 1.0.2 domain can not be opened with iWeb 2.0.x. I followed many suggestions but still no luck.
I wish I can open iWeb 1.0.2 and 2.0.2 same time so I can copy and paste all the contents, but this is also impossible. What can I do now? Sigh... Should I wait until iWeb 3.0 out?

Dream on
Once they have GM, it takes about two weeks for software to hit the shelves. So if they declare GM during the weekend, then it's a possibility. But I wouldn't hold my breath.
They're targeting "october" release, so that most probably means tuesday the 30th. For that target, they have few weeks to iron out the last bugs and hope they don't find any show-stoppers.
"Fill down" functionality
They've added "Fill Down" and "Fill Right" functionality to the "Insert" menu in Numbers. Woohoo! I've been wanting that since Numbers came out.

.iWeb 2.0.2 still not complete
iWeb 2.0.2 is still not complete in my opinion. I dont know how Apple could have not thought about this, but it seems to me when making a photo slideshow, you should be able to control the amount a time a photo stays up on the screen before it goes to the next photo.
You can do just about everything else with the photos but no way to control that. Kind of ridiculous not to have that basic feature. I am disappointed. Hopefully iWeb 3 will have that feature.
