Where does the 24U Preferences+Globals Plug-In save the preferences?
The 24U Preferences+Globals Plug-In saves preferences to the Preferences folder of your System Folder on your Startup disk on Mac OS, to the /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/ folder on Mac OS X, and to the Windows\Profiles\your_username\Application Data\24U\24U Preferences+Globals Plug-In\. If you do not have enough privileges for writing, preferences cannot be saved.
24U Preferences+Globals Plug-In does not save my preferences:
First, make sure you are using 24uP-SetPreference, and not 24uP-SetGlobal. Only preferences are stored on hard disk, globals are forget as soon as you quit FileMaker Pro. If the 24uP-SetPreference function fails, check if you have enough free space on your hard disk and if you have enough privileges to create files in the destination folder (depends on operating system you are using). Also make sure you are not using forbidden characters in the file name.
Are Preferences files compatible on Mac OS, Mac OS X and Windows?
You can copy the file from either platform to any other and Preferences files will work. Remember to put your preferences file in the appropriate location on your disk. Where to put them is written in the first question of this paragraph.
If your problem is not listed above or if the recommended solution does not work for you, please contact our technical support at <http://www.24uSoftware.com/support.php> for assistance.
