Thank you for all your hard work and keeping this valuable tool running. I am having an issue with autotrack. It seems broken. I'm running windows10 and I tried one of the default video files (bouncing cart) to make sure there weren't any video compatibility issues. Anyhow, ctrl-shift-click brings up the auto-track window, but "search" doesn't automatically advance. Any help / feedback would be appreciated. BTW, I have run this program in the past without this issue.
Autotracker is indeed broken in version 6.0.5 and a new version 6.0.6 will be released this week with the fix.
