OmniGraffle Pro 3.0.1 Loses Prefs

It turns out OmniGraffle Pro 3.0.1 changes the name of its preference file from com.omnigroup.OmniGraffle.plist to com.omnigroup.OmniGrafflePro.plist. So, update the name of your old preferences file to carry your preferences forward.

Well, most of them, anyway. I noticed while my application-wide preferences and workspaces came back, my customized toolbars didn't. Annoyance, but not too major. With 3.0.1 running, I fired up 3.0 to manually inspect and copy over my settings. No go -- the license manager demanded another license key if I'm going to run two copies of OmniGraffle Pro at the same time. On one machine, under one user. At least OmniGraffle nonPro runs in demo mode when you're short a license. Not so with Pro. Ick.

I ended up quitting 3.0.1, launching 3.0, taking a screen shot, quitting 3.0 and relaunching 3.0.1.

Bug filed with OmniGroup.
