CMA Issues

CMA is stable *finally, and one fixture is working fine. The new issue is the other DL2 lets me think I can load a file into a folder but nothing shows up. Heres what happens: shows a progress bar, but then nothing is in a folder. I can add a folder, but does not upload anything to it. Have tried diffrent content, different folders, adding content to other DL2 *works, and deleting and adding, no luck adding.

I have the most current Firmware and CMA.

Any help?

    [quote=jxgriffi;41124]It could be because the Mac version is still 1.4 while the PC version is 1.5....don't know.

    Even when running the older fixtures with same version Mac CMA there are things that just work better on PC version.

    Cloning is a great example. If you run the Mac version it looks for every file every time you clone, but with PC it is smart enough to only clone changes.....if you have a lot of custom content this can be the differernce between seconds and hours.

    My understanding of this is the differences between how OSx and Windows manage files.....so yes the CMA has problems in Mac, but its' not really due to the CMA software so much as the OSx behind it.

    Bottom line is that I've always found it to be cleaner to use "same" type when getting these things to talk.

    For DL/AXON units PC is best, but for things like Catalyst a Mac is better for managing server networks.
