So far so good. Searching seems fine, and I updated my index without incident, except that updating seemed to hang for more than a minute. I suspect Foxtrot was trying to index the newly-downloaded Foxtrot versions, since I had just updated my index an hour before. Perhaps you want to exclude the Foxtrot program from being indexed (by default)?

Hey guys,

I just downloaded the new FoxTrot Personal Search v.3.01 from the link on the CTM server, and found the downloaded file was version 3.0, build 713. I don’t think that’s what you intended.

Pamela,

Thanks, that was fixed thanks to you shortly after your message.

Kind regards,

jean michel

PS: and thank you as well for testing over the week-end as you had said
you would do. So few people hold their promises nowadays !

Hello,

Even though I have already purchased the upgrade to Foxtrot Personal search, I'm now unable to get the newest version to launch. The application will only launch the old version.

Please advise.

Can you describe precisely what happens when you try to launch FoxTrot
3? Is there an error message? A Crash? A message logged in Console.app?

Note that FoxTrot 3 requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

[jeff...@netgainusa.net]

Sure.

When I click on the Foxtrot icon in the dock, this message appears:

"Running FoxTrot from a disk image:  This copy of FoxTrot appears to be running from its installation disk image, and could work incorrectly. Please copy it to the Applications folder.

I then copied it to the applications folder and the problem is persisting.  I had been using the upgraded version successfully for about a week until yesterday.  

I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 on a Macbook Pro.  

Please advise.

I am a user, not with CTM, but I think I can help.

Drag the installation disk to the trash. Now double click on the program icon in your applications folder.

Does that work?

Yes, and remove from the Dock the application that you dragged from the
disk image, then you can drag the application from the Application
folder back to the Dock.

Jerome,

That didn't work either.

Please advise.
