I may be wrong because it was only a few weeks between my use of 2.2 and 2.4, which was what broke the OSM plug-in for me.</div><div><br></div><div>Laura</div><div><br>On 2014-08-28, at 3:19 PM, Glenn Weller <<a href="mailto:glenn_d_weller@sbcglobal.net">glenn_d_weller@sbcglobal.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><div style="" class=""><span style="" class="">Hi Laura,</span></div><div class="" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br style="" class=""><span style="" class=""></span></div><div class="" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span style="" class="">I tried it both ways.
