The Lightroom 2.4 update includes several bug fixes. The following is a list of items FIXED in this release.

Web galleries with a Collection Title of six characters would not export or upload
The crop aspect ratio could revert to the last selected ratio even when reset to original
The crop aspect ratio in Quick Develop could be lost after a crop adjustment
The crop aspect ratio lock could be lost after an orientation switch
Images could preview incorrectly when imported using the MTP/PTP USB protocol
Sony .ARW files may not have been recognized by Lightroom’s import dialog
The Japanese language configuration of Lightroom on Mac OS X 10.5 could fail to switch to the print module if the HP B9180 was set as the default printer
Metadata options that are intended for use were dimmed incorrectly when exporting DNG files
The Japanese language configuration of Lightroom on Mac OS X was missing a shortcut for “Zoom Out”
Several translation and shortcut corrections were made for the eight additional languages introduced with Lightroom 2.3

brian, any reason you prefer lightroom over aperture? or is it just what you know so you've stuck with it?

i was using lightroom for a while but after it crashing like crazy on me, and giving me lots of headaches, i've since made the switch to aperture and never, ever looked back. just like to hear what people use and why, thanks for any input

well the main reason is that I don't use apple computers, so there is no real other option out there.

I've never actually tried aperture. Lightroom on windows 7 is working awesome.

ahh, makes sense! thanks

I have been on LR since its release nearly, I have tried some demos of Aperture but never actually got into it.
Why is it better besides the crashing?

ha, weird, i experienced the exact opposite problem. i was running the latest build of lightroom and it was crashing on me multiple times per day, and i've been running the latest build of aperture on both my ancient PowerBook and my new iMac and have had zero problems and zero crashes. i don't see one as being necessarily better than another, whatever works for each individual. kinda like nikon vs. canon IMO.

thats what I figured,
Like anything you only change when you find problems.
