Re: Running Structured Frame 7.2/8 on Macbook Pro under OS 10/Parallels
I've been running Frame 7.2 under Parallels on a MacBook Pro for about 6 months. I've only encountered a few gotchas. You have to get used to using Mac keys for Windows shortcuts (and you can avoid a lot of that if you use the Esc shortcuts which work just about anywhere). There's a kind of funky thing with dropdown menus. I have to click the menu twice - once to select it and once to display the choices. I use several plugins and have had no problems. I love Parallels. NOTE: I haven't upgraded to Parallels 3 yet. Pat Christenson On Aug 2, 2007, at 10:31 AM, Thomas Pfaeffle wrote: Folks, I'm considering dumping the PC for a Macbook Pro.

Running Structured Frame 7.2/8 on Macbook Pro under OS 10/Parallels
I run structured Frame 7.2 on a Macbook Pro through Parallels (with Windows XP on the Boot Camp partition) on my in-the-field machine. The configuration seems pretty solid. Working on the local hard drive, FrameMaker performance is acceptable although quite a bit slower than Frame 7.0 running on my G5 Mac desktop configuration. If you are accustomed to working on an older Windows machine, you will likely see an increase in performance. Watch out if you work on a cross-platform server. The Frame/Parallels configuration is significantly slower when your work resides on a Mac server (for additional information, see http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/2007-June/008046.html). You probably won't notice much of a difference if you work on a Windows server or if you work locally. Regards, Robert Stoker Seatech Publications, Inc.

Re: Running Structured Frame 7.2/8 on Macbook Pro under OS 10/Parallels
That might not be just a Parallels thingy. For the longest time I have had to click twice in FM 7.x on XP in dropdown lists in dialogs. Once to populate the dropdown, the second time to generate a scroll bar. Am I alone?

I've been running Frame 7.2 under Parallels on a MacBook Pro for about 6 months. I've only encountered a few gotchas. You have to get used to using "Mac" keys for "Windows" shortcuts (and you can avoid a lot of that if you use the Esc shortcuts which work just about anywhere). There's a kind of funky thing with dropdown menus. I have to click the menu twice - once to "select" it and once to display the choices. I use several plugins and have had no problems.
