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 > Subject: Re: High Sierra - Export Textin 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.

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.

Re: 4D 64-bit font darkness
I was looking on Mac. It seems to be across the board. Lucida Grande and the High Sierra system font (can't think of the name - San Francisco?) are probably the most used. > On Jun 6, 2018, at 3:52 PM, Tai Bui wrote: > > Hi, > > What parts of 4D? > > On Windows, I opened 32-bit and 64-bit 4D v17 side by side and didn't see any > seemingly noticeable difference between the two in terms of 4D's UI, the > method editor, and a simple text variable object on a detail form. > > I did notice that the font on the Welcome Wizard was a bit different though. > > Best Regards, > -Tai B. > > > > > Tai Bui > Technical Services Engineer > > 4D Inc > 95 S.

Re: Flexible SVG ID Strategy
Hi John, I understand there are cases where you might build an SVG interface using 4D commands instead of using javascript in a web area. But when you want to do drag and drop, that is probably the use case that will most benefit from using javascript. You can use a parent/child technique that works so well in js. Your IDs can just be auto assigned and can relate to the IDs of your associated 4D data.

RE: 4D 64-bit font darkness
Hi, What parts of 4D? On Windows, I opened 32-bit and 64-bit 4D v17 side by side and didn't see any seemingly noticeable difference between the two in terms of 4D's UI, the method editor, and a simple text variable object on a detail form. I did notice that the font on the Welcome Wizard was a bit different though.

Re: How does one detect that Cookies are disabled?
Jim,
Dani Beaubien posted a link to a StachExchange thread that included the
following javascript…
if (navigator.cookieEnabled)
{document.write("Cookies Enabled");
} else
{documentwrite("Oops Cookies Not Enabled");
}
I tried navigator.cookieEnabled in my test Xojo web app and it works
perfectly. No reason it should not work anywhere you can execute javascript 4D
or otherwise.
Thanks to Dani, I hope this helps.

I had something similar happen a while ago. I don´t remember the details but if you download 4D in a directory that belongs to a "normal" user you can start it like before, but the OS is putting it in a sandbox directory with a random name like 07B29AA87F90481387491D4EEF206BB6. So if you use commands like Get 4D folder it does not return the folder where you THINK that 4D is located but the name of the random sandbox folder. If you move 4D into the application folder you are asked to authorize with your admin password and the OS removes that quarantine-bit (or whatever it uses to mark the app). So from then on everything works as expected even when you the copy 4D from the applications folder to any other place. As I said, my memory is a bit vague but I think your problem might be connected to this behavior of macOS.
