Hello, I have some problems exporting from a calculated container in mac.

 

I have a calculated container field, with have a path reference for the pdf. The path is calculated because the pdfs are uploaded from another program into the folders,  so I have get the path from the program (stored in msql field). The pdf server is a Windows 2008.

 

The calculated container field works fine. The path is correct, both in windows and mac.

 

Problem:

 

If I export the field from windows, everything goes ok, it exports the pdf.

 

If I export the field from mac, the resulting export is a txt document with the path to the pdf in plain text.

 

This is my calculation container:

 

If ( Get ( SystemPlatform ) = 1 ; 
   "filemac:/Shared Folder/file.pdf ; 
   "filewin://Server/Shared Folder/file.pdf ; 
    )

I double checked it, an the path is ok. I also used the "go folder" option of mac finder to get the path, and is working.

 

Someone know if I missing something?

 

Thanks.

If somebody else get this problem, here is the solution I found:

 

Later of this problem, I restarted the system and sudenly mac export worked, but windows stopped working! This weird behavior smelled like "first open wins" so I gived a look in the calculated container field, and the indexation of the field was activated (this is by default). After I check the "don´t store calculations", the system calculates each time the O.S. of the user and now serves the correct path.
