Tech Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hi Vva, Great, glad you like it! Hi Hugo, If you are using the Default Workspace, it should appear directly in the Specialties tool row: If you are using a Custom Workspace, you can add it as Vva indicates...

RobertH Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hi Tech, Thanks so much for the update! Could we get a list of the changes/fixes that were made in this update so that we can test them? Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etroxel Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm now getting an error each time I try to open the program where it tells me that it can't load the preferences file. It has me locate a file, and then crashes. I've tried redownloading the program and installing it fresh, but the problem persists. Help? v8.0.2 still works fine. iMac on Yosemite 10.10.3 Latest beta for v8.5 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hey Evan, You can fix you preferences by Quitting formZ, going to the Finder: Go Menu, hold down Option, choose Library: Preferences: autodessys -- and rename the formZ 8.x folder(s) Support said there should be a new beta later this week too...

Tech Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hi Evan, In addition to Rob's suggestions, if you just click Cancel for locating the Preference File, that should also launch properly. Then go to Preferences and designate a proper Preference File (or save a new one). Yes, an updated Beta is coming soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etroxel Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 But FYI in beta 2 when I hit cancel, it would go into the application, and after only a few seconds the spinning beachball of death would appear and the program would crash every time.
