1) when i link views or pmks from AC to PM the fills even though solid become transparent showing elements that i don't need.
2) On update from linked views PM hangs up and freezes requiring that i shut down the comp, since force quit does not work.This sounds like a memory leak; try closing ArchiCAD when you are updating, as another background ArchiCAD is strating up anyway. Did you download and apply the patch?
3) title names from linked views using <drawingname> display correctly (no .pmk ext) but since i cant use the link views and i am using pmk's then i get the .pmk extension on the title. Is there a way to get rid of it without exploding the title and editing the text. ( I have tried publishing from AC without the extensions and setting OS X to not show them but they always appear.)Regretfully there is no workaround around this, except covering the extensions with fills Therefore auto titles work best with linked views.

this has become a monologue. My solution to the "error 256"
delete the grafisoft folder under
"<username>/library/cache/"
Did that and BgAC started working ok and updating fast.
