New Image Editing Button -- Needs Latest Version of Java

You may have noticed a small change in the dialog window that pops up when you insert an image. When attempting to use this editor, my  browsers crashed and I lost work I had not saved.

According to OmniUpdate support, the image editor minimally requires Java 5 installed to be able to use it. The latest version of Java is recommended: Windows - Java 6 (1.6 version 13). Macintosh - Java 5 (1.5 Update 3).

I have Java 5 installed on my PC and it still is crashing. My advice -- don't use the Edit Image button in OmniUpdate. Instead use Paint.net on a PC or Preview (Mac) to resize your image before uploading. Directions are in this PDF file.
