V6 on Mac running crossover - several minor niggles

Post by plantheaven » 29 Dec 2014 11:46

Hi,
Those of you have helped me in the past with trying to run FH under Crossover will no doubt be groaning and reaching for a bottle of something strong but hope that these are just minor niggles and will take seconds to put me straight.
Firstly is the media window. When I attach a jpeg and then try to link to another person e.g. marriage certificate to husband's marriage fact and then try to make link to wife, the window 'crashes out'.
Secondly how do I keep the columns in the Record Window at the preferred width, when restarting I have to 'pull' the columns out so that I can read them.
Thirdly I cannot type in the 'Automated Sources' screen.
I have loaded V6 into a Win7 bottle as per instructions and FH seems to be running relatively well apart from these niggles.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Jacqui

Can other Crossover users confirm whether they have the same symptoms?

This thread will be added to the list for Calico Pie to review.

What Mac are you running on and which version of osX?

I always use Ancestral Sources so have not come across problem #1

On my MacBook Air running Mavericks the window stays the same width for me so no issue with #2

I haven't tried #3 but will test it and post back as I don't use automated sources.
