Install On Demand?

[gerardjames]

Hi there,

 

I'm new to the forum and I just went to use the free version of Switch 1.5 for Mac Intel. I downloaded it a few weeks ago but haven't used it until today so a message came up telling me I could still use it but some features would be disabled. Or something like that.

 

Anyway - to get to the point, I converted an AIFF file to an mp3 file and in the process of doing so, I saw something pop up called "Install on Demand" and something installed on my system but I don't know what it was - my console log says something about LAME version 3.96.1 http://lame.sourceforge.net/

 

What happened here? I don't really like having stuff installed on my system without being asked first. All I did was click the convert button and something installed.

 

Can anyone let me know what this was all about?

 

Actually - just looking in my system now, I see that at the time of conversion, a folder called NCH Software was added and a folder inside of it called Components - inside that folder is a file called "mp3el".

 

Is this normal procedure for Switch?

 

Thanks,

Gerard
