Out of necessity, I’ve updated my MacBook Air to Catalina. I’ve made a stripped down single user version of my app to run on a couple of users that updated without asking me about it.
One such client is in Nova Scotia and I have good access to his machine via Teamviewer. Since the root level of the hard drive is now ‘off limits’, Catalina nicely moved the folders elsewhere. I’ve had to modify several java scripts to accommodate the change, and a bit of coding to modify how 4D finds and calls the scripts. No end of trouble with a client here and permissions regarding Teamviewer. Kind-of looks like some of the permissions are not sticking. I’ll look into it on-site tomorrow. I’ve had to open all disk access, etc., to the single user app so I can create the billing files to be sent to the government so they can get paid. Sure doesn’t seem very secure to me that way. Now for my MacBook Air. 8Gb memory. I’ve been trying to open the source database. I’ve gone through two rounds of authorizing the OS to go ahead and open plug-ins that were downloaded months ago under 10.14.x. Then 4D has a spinning beachball cursor and goes unresponsive. Yet the single user app made under 10.14.6 and v16.6 opens fine on the client machines. I asked my son (a software engineer at Apple in Cupertino who works on stuff he can’t tell me about until it is released) about folders at the root level. He said, nope, they can’t even do it in development. Even if you hacked a way to make the folders at the root level, the next OS Update will move them again. Anyone else having permission problems with Catalina? _________________________________________ Bob McKeever http://www.mswl.com <http://www.mswl.com/> McKeever's Software Wizardry Port Coquitlam, B.C.
