I am dependant on DCU because I haven't found a better way to manage my B&W workflow. When I shoot RAW and pick B&W custom image I want to see my images in black & white all the way in the sorting & developing process. Every other piece of software I tried shows me DNG files in color, because third party software can't interpret the sidecar information from a DNG properly. So I was really close to bite the bullet and go back to windoze because there DCU worked without problems. But then, I use my windoze for other things, the monitors are not so good as on my Mac and I simply love the smoothness of a Mac. Ah well...
... some time passed and I've done some troubleshooting.
I am very happy to report that I solved the DCU/Mac problem the elegant way: I reinstalled DCU thus was actually downgrading it from 4.3.3 to 4.3.0 (this version came originally shipped with K-r). Now it works absolutely flawless! I have a feeling it is also a tad faster than the 4.3.3 version. But most of all it does not hang or crash at all! I am back to my preferred workflow on a Apple machine. Couldn't be happier!
Cheers,
