Mark,
You got the idea. You see, for me, 4.01 ran beautifully, I never ran into any issues with it. So I went from 4.01 DIRECT to 4.03. Now, with that said, and having read quite a few issues related to problems with 4.02 (especially zip conversion), I expected a conversion (or associated problem with the zips) when I installed and used 4.03.
So when I first started 4.03, I thought hmmmmm all zips seem to be playing quite nicely....and they did. I only found the problem after closing and opening Hoster again with zips still in the play list.
So you are right, had I gone to 4.02 first, it would have made the conversion process upon startup. However, I had a working system with 4.01 last week leading up to an important show and I could not see upgrade to 4.02 as viable late last week.
As it was, I re-imported over 140 zips in 4.03 and it took only a few minutes; back in business! 4.03 is rock solid for me. There may be many others that are "jumping revisions" for similar reasons....so I posted. Or it may just be an anomally that does not necessarily show up with all like-minded "version jumpers" like myself
Hoster rocks!
