Keynote updated to 4.0.2
Posted by | Posted in iWork Updates | Posted on 01-29-2008
Apple updated Keynote to 4.0.2 today, citing fixes for exporting and playback performance. Unfortunately there’s not a whole lot of information except that (well, pretty much NO information except that). Gotta love these wordy upgrade descriptions.
You can find out more at Apple.com
It’s a 32 meg update (taking up 98.9 megs of space)… kinda hefty considering Keynote is 280+ megs so there’s been a lot changed. I’ve got a few pet problems I’m going to be looking into and let you know what I find.
Copying a masked object is still broken
Pasting from preview is still broken, too. How are things on the QuickTime side?
I save a job yesterday with iWork o8, when i tried to open it this morning i got a warning You need a update version it transfert the Keynote o8 in Keynote 06 alone, so i delete the 06 version and dropped the job on the o8 icone in the tool bar and it work ok now
AlRobi, you may be having this problem.

I’m curious… how many of you have experienced random flashing on the screen using iwork08 when using a quicktime background? We have been having that problem, we were hoping for a fix with 4.0.2 the problem actually got worse. Our fix has been to save back to 06 and run it in 06.of course we lose all the good stuff when we do that
Since Christmas we’ve been dealing with the Quicktime flash-frame issue and no updates have fixed it. When I asked at the Apple store I was told it would NOT be patched but would need to wait until the next major rev! Does this mean we have to wait for iWork ’09?!? UNACCEPTABLE, APPLE!
It’s unfortunate that the flashing issue hasn’t been resolved yet. The highest any Keynote upgrade has achieved after it’s initial release was 1.1.1, but version 2 got as far as 0.2 and 3 got to 0.1v1. While there’s a lot of Keynote that depends on the OS and as a result, OS updates sometimes gives us Keynote improvements, I’m hoping we haven’t reached the end of the line.
