Re: [FCP-L] Fix for Desktop Preview bug in 7.0.1

update:

not long after doing this,
i got a Software Update announcement.

i wasn't sure if it was a result of me changing the file
DesktopVideoout.component over, or not,

so i ran the software update, and Desktop Preview BROKE again!

i quite FCP, ran software update again, and got the all clear, no more
updates.

I then replaced the DesktopVideoout.component AGAIN,

Desktop Preview now works (again)

and now when i run Software Update, i once more get the "Pro
Applications Update 2009-01" notification!

so i'm leaving it alone now,
happy that my desktop preview now works
