Two very annoying problems

I encounter two major problems with Tracker version 5.2 and 6.0 (Tracker 5.1.5 works flawlessly):
1. On "Open File" menu selection the "Frames loaded" window is not shown. Loading big files Tracker seems like doing nothing. This is very annoying.
2. On pressing "Step Back" button Tracker stucks for about 6 seconds before the previous frame is shown in main view. This makes Tracker allmost unusable.

Hi Bill, thanks for your report. We are working on getting both of these issues fixed in a 6.0.1 release, but in the meantime I recommend you stick with version 5.1.5.  Doug
