Absolutely Fed Up! Not working well with MAC LION OS - FIXED in V. 1.182

[gapdev]

Here is the deal with OS X Lion and the Carvewright software:

Whatever was licensed before updating to Lion remains licensed. Whatever you attempt to license after updating to Lion will only stay licensed while the program is running. As soon as you quit the Carvewright program, any software, projects, or patterns you tried to license will no longer be licensed and you will have to re-license them the next time you run the software.

This is because these two files are owned by root:

/Library/Preferences/com.LHR Technologies.Board Editor.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.LHR Technologies.Pattern Editor.plist

and the software cannot write to them. Since the License info is stored in one or both of those files, whatever you license will only stay licensed while the software is running.

Other effects of not being able to update those two files is Recent Projects and Preferences. Since the software cannot write to those two files, it cannot remember your preferences and the last project you had opened.

LHR can duplicate this very easily under Lion. Simply change a preference, quit the software, and then go back in. Your preference change will be the way it was before you tried to change it. Or, License a Pattern or Project. Quit the software and go back in. The Pattern or Project will no longer be licensed.
