Developer Unexpectedly quits

[macaroni]

Everytime I create a runtime solution using FM Developer, I need to restart. I can create one and if I create another one it would unexpectedly quit on me during compiling part.

But when I restart I can create another runtime solution and then if I need to create one again I need to restart again...

This is driving me insane......

Any ideas how to fix this?

AFAIK there is a problem when *dragging* files onto the Dev Tool, so there is a suggestion to choose files using the navigation dialog

Good to know thanks...I do have another problem.

When I try to rename one of the DBs, I get an error saying to make sure that the database is close and I have enough disk space.....

I want to rename one of my DBs from Client to "Solutions Provider" and it is my primary file which serves as my main window of my app.

I checked and non of my DBs are open and yes I have enough disk space.

I know it is supposed to fix the internal links of scripts as well when I rename it...

What could be the problem?

I also have the same problem... but it happens all the time, even if I use the Select file button it just quits... I purchased the software weeks ago and I still haven't been able to bind a single file yet.... I've tried it on several macs.. all running the latest OSX 10.2.4... same results!!! any ideas before I return the products to FileMaker??

I too had the same problem trying to bind files under OS X 10.2.4 - "Select File" didn't help even after deleting all FMD pref files. In the end the only method that worked was using a Mac that still had OS X 10.1 running. And the resulting Runtime seems to work fine on 10.2.4.

The thing about FM Developer is that it's not designed to "edit" your bound solution.

Regarding troubles in OSX, I just bound a 14-file solution in OS 10.2.1 with no problem at all. It opens and runs just fine.

I have a hunch that 10.2.4 may be the problem.

I have the same problem (crashes when compiling) every single time, but am running 10.2.3. Any other solutions out there?

I'M USING FILEMAKER DEV. 6 AND MAC OS 10.2 AND THIS APPLICATION CRASHING WAS HAPPENING TO ME TOO.

HERE WAS MY SOLUTION.

I MAKE A COPY OF WHATEVER FILES I'M BINDING, ON THE DESKTOP. THEN I MAKE SURE THAT FILEMAKER DEVELOP IS QUIT. THEN I OPEN THE DEVELOPER TOOL AND BIND.

THE PROBLEM HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE.

IT SEEMED LIKE HAVING BOTH FILEMAKER DEV. AND THE DEV. TOOL OPEN AT THE SAME TIME WAS CREATING A CONFLICT. PERHAPS A SHARED LIBRARY OR SOMETHING.

I have the same problem with FMD6 (v6.03) with MacOS X 10.2.3 for my solutions...But I tryed the next "solution":

Close you session and open in ROOT mode (not admin or user)... then copy the databases and make you solution -NOT DRAG & DROP THE FILES, ADD THEM WITH THE BUTTON Add Files... - (for now, this work just fine for my)

Hey, Bruce,

Good point. You may be on to something. One request, however -- please don't use all caps. It comes across as shouting.

Thanx.

Sorry, I'm usually just to lazy to reach the shift key when I need it.
