FEX app does not have to move/copy fonts into it's directory

<b>Linotype FontExplorer does not have to move or copy the fonts...<b>

under the Advanced preferences tab simply turn off "Manage fonts" and it will allow you to keep your fonts anywhere... just like iTunes...

I have been running it since it appeared on MacUpdate a week or so ago and have it managing just over 7000 fonts with no problems... other than the cycling thru the dialogs when asking to activate a font that is not activated but is in the collection... not sure what is going on there... but if autoactivation is not a real big issue... all it does is slow the workflow down a tad having to manually activate a font... and surely this will be fixed in the final full release... overall a great smoothly functioning app...

I have used MasterJuggler and Suitcase... with Suitcase being the doggiest font app around... my wife has to use it daily and hates it... and always has hated it...

cheers
