Latex - Beamer warnings after update

While preparing my PhD defense presentation, in ran into the warning:

Package hyperref Warning: Option `pdfpagelabels' is turned off
(hyperref) because \thepage is undefined.
Hyperref stopped early

Google was my friensd this day since the first search result provided the appropriate workaround:
http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=162
\documentclass[hyperref={pdfpagelabels=false}]{beamer}

Cheers to localghost, whose answer allowed me to skip reading the change logs of the hyperref package at such a stressful time.

Edit:
In fact, all the new warnings I got were related to the update of beamer and hyperref.
This blog entry : http://texblog.net/latex-archive/presentations/beamer-warnings/ presents a step by step workaround. Thanks Stefan.

Opening multiple TexnicCenter instances

On windows, I like the Texniccenter LaTeX frontend. In my opinion, it is a very good tool for handling large Latex projects. One feature I really appreciate is the document structure tree which makes navigation in the LaTeX source much easier. One issue I had is that if you open a new project, it replaces the project in the open instance (at least in the version I use: 1.0 RC1).
Fortunately, there is a trick : if you open the main tex file, with same name as the project, Texniccenter loads a new instance, and then asks if it should load the project. This allows to have multiple instances of Texniccenter. I use this a lot when writing my thesis, to copy/paste the code for figures / tables that were published in articles I wrote.
