    I have been using TapForms for about 4-5 years now, but was on an old Mac so I used a previous version. I recently bought a new computer and was therefore able to upgrade to 5.3.41 (on Sequoia).

    I have found that something that used to work is no longer functioning. but can’t find anything about this in the help.

    I am using the database to catalogue my sewing patterns, many of which are available as sets of PDFs, so I keep each pattern in a folder, and up til now have put a link to the filder in a file attachment field. In the previous version this allowed me to click the link and open the folder concerned, however now when I add a link using the arrow/plus icon, the link generated has ‘unknown file type’ in ‘kind’ and I cannot open the folder.

    The links that I set up in the previous version do show ‘folder’ as the ‘kind’ however they are no longer clickable links.

    Hi Gabrielle,

    It should still work, even though it says unknown filetype. I just tested it.

    Is this for new attachments or old attachments that it’s not working. If you moved to a new Mac, your aliases possibly won’t work and will have to be re-established. It’s a security issue on macOS that’s causing this.

    Thanks,

    Brendan
