open recent Help

[asan]

When I go to file, “open recent” VS can not find my files. This happens with all my files.
I can open them if I go to file-open.
Also should I see a thumbnail of my file in the finder?
Thanks for any help

@asan Is this on Windows or MacOS?
Are there any files shown in Open Recent?

This on a mac, after I open a file it does show up in open recent, but I get this:

@asan I tried to replicate this with a file in a Desktop sub-folder, but here it is opening.

A few things to try:

• reset VectorStyler to its default state, by removing the files from ~/Library/NumericPath/VectorStyler1.2/vector/data/resources/ folder (while VectorStyler is not running).

• try saving to another folder (like /Public) and opening with Open Recent from there.

I will also investigate what could cause this.

@VectorStyler
Is this path for a Mac? /Library/NumericPath/VectorStyler1.2/vector/data/resources/
it is not on my computer.

@asan

correction: ~/Library/Application Support/NumericPath/VectorStyler1.2/vector/data/resources/

[asan]

from this path: /Library/Application Support/NumericPath/VectorStyler1.2/vector/data/resources/
from the resources folder I sent the files to the trash.
Same thing, can not find the open recent files.

Not clear why this happens. It seems that VectorStyler cannot access files in the /Desktop folder.
I will try to find out more on this.

I am having the same issue. Open recent menu lists recent files, and will open them as long as I don't quit VS. If I quit, relaunch and try to open any saved file listed in Open recent, I get the attached error message.

I am using VS Version 1.2.071 on Mac OS Sequoia 15.5

@Reyder I have a bug opened on this issue. It looks like some sort of permission issue (new MacOS versions introduced a lot of permission blocks). I will try to replicate it.

@asan A question: are you using the Mac App store version of VectorStyler or the one downloaded from our webpage?

[asan]

I am using the Mac app store version

[VectorStyler]

@asan said in open recent Help:

That explains the issue. The Mac App store runs apps in a mode that cannot access files in folders, unless manually opened.

[asan]

can I change from app store download to your website download?

[VectorStyler]

@asan

Yes, at no cost.

Can the email from the forum registration be used for the license?

[asan]

@VectorStyler
yes it can

[VectorStyler]

@asan It should be in your mailbox.
