Has anyone experienced extreme sluggishness (including beach ball) when opening form properties or object properties? For every change I make in the properties, I have to wait at least 3 seconds before 4D responds, occasionally showing the beach ball. Making changes takes forever this way…

Guys, I’ve found the cause. Recently, I have upgraded MacOs to 10.13.4. Until then, the speed was fine. I googled on ‘issues with MacOs 10.13.4’, and among others, I read that CleanMyMac 3 was likely to be the cause. I have uninstalled it and now the issues are gone. Damn CleanMyMac3 ! I feel

Another solution is to use Citrix. A number of my customers work this way from home, and run 4D client this way, day-in, day-out. It does require you to set up a Citrix server and to buy Citrix licenses, so this is maybe not what you are looking for. Regards, Rudy Mortier Two Way
