New OS
X Folder Dialog
A few questions
have arisen with the new browse dialog in OS X
systems. The primary issues raised have been an
inability to find desired folders, mounted drives
and/or network drives. The new dialog has a single
drop down folder at the top that generally
defaults to the user's home folder, showing the
folders for things like Applications, Documents,
Downloads and Pictures. To browse to USB or
network drives, use the drop down list to select
the hard drive, which will be the lowest line in
the list (it may be labeled as Mac HD, boot, Hard
Disk, etc.).
Next, double-click on the
Volumes folder and the available
drives/devices should all be listed, as shown in
the 2nd image below.
To get back to
the desired home folder to get to Pictures, etc.
from the hard drive us the top drop down list and
select/open Users in the folder list, then
the user name needed.
Templates File 'revision'
Attribute
There have been
several reports of templates files not showing
changes in the ROES Client since the update last
week. In each case this has been due to at least a
single use of the Template Tool 'Beta' edition, in
some cases from back in June during the RUG
Meeting. An attribute called 'revision' appeared
in the templates file after being opened and saved
in the Beta Template Tool, and stayed throughout
subsequent changes performed in the live Template
Tool on the root/top element of the tree. The
newer codebase looks for the revsion attribute as
a means to define whether or not to download the
file from the web or simply use what is in the
.roescache. If the number found in the file in
cache is equal to the number set in the one on the
web, then no dowload will occur. If you see a
revision attribute on your templates file, please
delete it (ROES for iPad templates files excluded)
or make sure to increment it one with every new
change and sa ve to your templates
file(s).
