bug in trying to update to 1-005

i've already sent in two bug reports on this one, but thought i'd post this in case someone had a quick fix (i really want to try out the new multi-blending as soon as possible), so, i'm posting it here also.

the first bug was reported from trying to download the new version. i simply went to 'download filters' and it gave me the normal message that i needed a new version and did i want to update now. i said yes and the download started and ran just fine. when the download was done, whatever comes next crashed FF back to the desktop and i got the error message on the desktop.

so, i started FF again, hoping that maybe this was a non-critical error and that it might finish the process of installing the new version. i again went to download filters but since i already had the download from the previous attempt, FF just crashed back to desktop again and i got the same message again.

like i say, i have already filled out the generated bug report forms. and, FF does still work; i just cant download any more filters or install the new version. my version still shows ver 1.004.

one additional note here, that i dont know if it would affect things or not, is that i recently got an email from bella over another bug fix. i had to copy the 1.004 .8bf file over to my plugins folder. i also copied the config file over as well. that would be the ver 1.004 .8bf into my plugins that apparently had an older version in it and was causing a problem when i used FF as a plugin from paint shop pro. i doubt this is affecting the new download, but i mention it anyways just in case.

so, any quick fixes here would be great!

Craig, you are right.

In order to update to version 1.005 correctly, please use Tools > Updates... command in the menu.
Alternatively, you can download a new setup file.

Other ways to update the program may lead to a crash. This has been fixed in the latest version, so the update to the following version will hopefully work OK.

Hi Guys!
Same thing happened to me, but I only crashed once, then I went hunting for a solution and found it. Everything is A-OK now!

After Thanksgiving I'm going to try making some more filters, haven't had time to blink!
