For - 0160 build users - Cartridge in Use

Today I was doing a WB for a wordbook file swap. In all the recent activities I quite forgot that the deadline was Feb 1st and hurriedly started desigining the WB when I noticed something. I had added an image from another cartridge besides SpongeBob and to get the cartridge quickly , when I pressed cartridge in use - I did not get the name of the other cartridge.
Oh Oh! I had just done the update and of course I was ready to jump and blame it on this.Well!....these updates come with so many bugs when one of them do come without any bugs we do tend to be leery and regard them with jaundiced eyes don't we? :). To me an update is proven guilty until cleared - ha ha. But this time I decided to be fair and give it a chance and decided to ponder on why this might be so. Then I remembered usually with G many changes are reflected only when you save , close a file (PC - get us proper file closing already!!!!! instead of us going and opening another file or a new file and then having to come back!!).and then reopen the file. So I followed that process and when I reopened the file- yep I could see the cartridge - sure enough.
Of course the other method still works if you want to know from what cartridge the image is from select it on the mat (image will be blue if in a group all will be selected) , go back to the keypad overlay and then hold your stylus on the image and you will see a box pop up below most probably under your hand - :) so lift it up. If you still can't see it popping up, press zoom button while holding the stylus . I could do it only this way in some updates. Tapping on the cartridge name button that pops up will also take you to the cartridge.
So many things - like deleting a page , cartridge in use etc are  reflected only when you refresh the file - by saving it, closing it (by opening another file or a new file) and then reopening the file.
Crossing my fingers that this update stays- just a bug free update...
