CMap default location (Mac OS X)

[George]

Hi there,

Instead of having my CMaps at the default location, I have put them into the Dropbox folder (https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg1NDUwNzk) so that I can share them with my other computer, which is a laptop when going to work. However, every time that I start up CMap Tools, I am asked to register user id, etc., which is not really convenient. Why does it not take the preferences from the new location, which actually is the same location in either computer?

Cheers,
George

This is a problem with saving the profile under the new java vm that comes with Snow Leopard. There is a problem with the XML file being saved. The next release of the software will fix this problem. If you search for "Leopard" on this forum you'll find several discussions on this topic. For now, you can edit the file manually as explained in this entry:

Hope this helps while the new release comes out.
