melodyne and preference files

hi,
i have a question that im asking out of curiosity as there are many people on this site that know so much more that i about logic and mac

every time i run onyx's check preference files, i get these to preference files detected as being corrupt and not able to be fixed. they are also detected with diskwarrior as well but not with disk utility.

com.igenegor.pennyweight.plist

com.REFTechnology.Cynol.plist

they are created each time i open melodyne studio.

so, i manually delete these files. should i do that?

do they impact on the mac in any way?

thanks

Mac OS X (10.6.2)

It'll probably freeze more often

but seriously, I have read about this some time ago, but all I remember is that it is harmless. Something about Melodyne needing to create these dummy files.
But the best way to find out is to ask Celemony.

Regards and HNY, Erik.

Only you know if they are having any impact on your system. If they can't be fixed and melodyne recreates them if deleted, and you are not having any obvious issues, then don't worry about it. You could also check on the melodyne forum.

im not really sure if they impact on my system as im in the habit of deleting them after each time i quit melodyne. i will jump on the melodyne forum and and have a look though.
