New Mac System 10.15 catalina problem

Postby naplesAPF » Thu Oct 10, 2019 3:39 am

Just read that the new mac system catalina on Macbook pro has a problem running xml files!!? As flightgear uses a lot of xml files I hope this may not be a problem for us macbookpro users. I haven't upgraded my system yet due to this worry. I hope one of our programers here, who know a lot more than I, will check this, and let the rest of us know.

ummm... "running xml files"?? xml files are data files... not executables... FG uses xml files for configuration data... the OS shouldn't have anything to do with them...

I also have a Mac book Pro, but I have not experienced this problem never. It probably is a settings problem, but try to update your Ios. I hope you will solve it fast! Help me, please too. I am a teacher at the university, without technical skills, haha. As I am aware, Mac does not have a screen recorder.

that was 2 years ago, peter ;)
the problem(s) at that time have been fixed since then...
