Re: Adding Music or Video files

Hi,

You are supposed to be able to add audio & video files in the Pictures pane by Copy & Paste or Drag/Drop but it does not seem to be working.

This is one for Warwick to resolve as it has probably become broken in some update or other.

Re: OS 11 Big Sur

Not with the current build. Warwick is working on a Big Sur update (he had the developer Mac Mini as I understand it) which will be released as soon as it is ready. I don’t know when that will be but I am hoping for soon. V2.9.9 briefly appeared in the Members area but that has gone again so the wai...

Re: Tried opening after some time away....

Hi

The latest version is ok on El Capitan so I would download it from the members area (follow the link)

It should handle the database migration.

Let us know how you get on

Re: Tried opening after some time away....

Hi The new versions are in the Members Forum area under the first post. The update was chargeable to help fund ongoing support. As you say “iFamily for Leopard” I’m guessing it has been a long time so your version of macOS may be too old for the latest version. I think there is information on the ma...

Re: Error Message Window

Hi

This problem was noticed a while ago but I’m not sure if Warwick has a fix yet.

Previous messages:

Force quit seems to get through the close problem without data loss (as far as I can tell) but clearly not ideal.

Hi

You can disconnect the person from the parent which will have the effect of hiding him/her.

Not sure if there is any other way.

Re: Upgrade questions

Hi Kirsten

The latest build is 2.9.6 which works with High Sierra, Sierra and (I believe) El Capitan.

You do not need to go through each release. Just download 2.9.6 from the Members area of this forum and run the installer.

Any reason for not upgrading to High Sierra?
