Definitely, because it does NOT create this file with os's before High Sierra. Why is v15 not displaying this behavior ? It's definitely something with v13.6. & High Sierra. I will apply a cleanup-method after I export the file, in the way Chip Scheide suggested and will work on this the coming days. > Greetings from Germany, > Bernd Fröhlich In this case I run the 4D database v13.6 either compiled or interpreted with the mac 4D app in High Sierra, in the regular Applications folder that you find on the root. It's not a standalone .app. Have not tried that one yet. >>---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > From: Jeremy French <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: High Sierra - Export Text in 4D v13.6 > > Have you looked at "Design -> Database Settings -> Database -> Temporary > Folder Location”? > > Is the "Temporary File Location" set to the “Resources” folder? > > >> there is a .temp file with a long filename >> (“07B29AA87F90481387491D4EEF206BB6.temp”) ALSO created in that Resource >> folder. The settings --> Database --> Temporary Folder Location is not set and the radiobutton of the 3 choices, the middle one, is set: Data File Folder. Current (location) is empty, as is Choose a folder line. However the folder "Temporary" I encounter in my Data File Folder ( is where I have the structure & datafile and the Resource Folder ) is empty. I do find the .temp file in the Resource Folder. Thank all for their input.
