FYI: You will need another update of iFamily before Mountain Lions release. It looks like it is time for us to move your iFamilyData folder from your user home directory to the Documents folder. This will form an automatic part of the install process prior to Mountain Lions general release.

Hi Warwick

How will this affect me and other users like me who store the iFamilyDataFolder on a separate external hard drive javascript:emoticon(':?:')

Putting the files in the documents folder is the Apple way to do things, the user home directory is the wrong place. Placing it there will also make it easier to sync with iCloud. I envisage iCould on Lion and above to be an option, not a necessity and am working towards that end.

You'd be surprised how many people have hard disk failures and accidents without backing up. Storage on an external mirrored disk is always a good option.

Whereas I can always send out new download links for the application, iCloud can provide data security for our customers databases as a plan B for catastrophic failures.

Sounds good to me Warwick - I'm all for anything that prevents me losing any of my precious data

Hi Warwick,

I'm hoping to change my laptop in September, after the release and bedding down of Mountain Lion.
Will iFamily be ready for the new OS by then? And will I be able to download it to my new machine without paying again?

I'm currently running v.2.532, and following your earlier comments I've checked and can confirm that my iFamily files are still in my home directory, and not in the Documents folder.

Please advise,

TIA,

FÃona

Hi Fiona,

Apple has announced ML's release on Wednesday (today). Luckily we are in Australia so we have an extra night to get ready.

So there should be a new release of iFamily tomorrow, but I would recommend waiting until Early August as iFamily will also need to be bedded down. The iFamilyData folder will not be moving yet, we am still working through the lengthy but necessary language externalization task. (There may be some typos on the interface or in the dialogs and reports with tomorrows version, these will be fixed promptly.).

All current customers can of course have a free upgrade to the Mountain Lion compatible version of iFamily For Leopard. (It's still going to be called "for Leopard" just for the moment).

Done, please update to V2.752 at your leisure and report any errors. (Typos and the occasional non fatal crashes are expected).

Hi Warwick,

I stupidly got excited and downloaded Mountain Lion last night, (luckily I did full back ups etc.,), and now when I try to open iFamily it just pops up with "iFamily for Leopard quit unexpectedly" and won't even open.

Would sending you the detailed problem report be of any use? If so, to what address?

What should I do - should I just wait until any problems any ironed out, or is there some way I can upgrade (without being able to open iFamily) ?

Thanks so much,
Madeleine

Hi Warwick,

Thanks for your prompt reply! I have just downloaded update and all seems well

BTW - I like the new leaf icon!

Cheers,

Hi Warwick,

I upgraded to Mountain Lion before I checked here and now it crashes upon opening.

Would you please send me the link to the newest version?

Thanks,
Dave
