I’ve moved to Leopard with very few issues and I like it but have just tried to boot Freeway 3.5.1.5 to manage a large legacy site and it wont initialize - has Leopard support been dropped by Softpress for Freeway 3.5.1.5? Or is there a likely problem and fix?

Thanks Richard
Yes I have realised this now.
Its a no go.
Fortunately I cloned my Tiger to another bootable volume so can boot from
there to maintain 3.5 sites for the while.
Bit of a quandary for me now…
I could of course donate a weekend or more to bringing the site(s) into 4 or
5 - hoping that in the process I don’t break anything. Or reboot in and our
of Tiger every time I need to edit the sites. hmmmm…
all the best

I am afraid that this is the problem with not keeping to a regular upgrade cycle - it just means that when you do, the leap is greater, with a greater risk of not getting to the other side.
Rightly or wrongly I upgrade whenever there is one on offer - not necessarily the incremental ones but certainly major revisions. Apart from that I can’t wait to get my hands on new features that come with these upgrades.

Hi dave - No you read me back to front.
I have bought 3, 4 and 5 Pro as they arrived, but have large sites in 3 that
may very well take a weekend to bring into 5 - going by my experiences of
bringing my own sites into 5. The client wont pay me to make the site
unchanged but usable in my proprietary software. The client may well cease
using me if I break functionality in any aspect of his site in making the
change. I have lots of things I need to attend to and making time to to this
isn’t easy to bring to the top of the list - so its a chore - but I’ll have
to boot from Tiger until whenever…
Stability remains my No.1 desire of Freeway at any iteration.
Newest versions can disappear from sight while I am blinking - until they
get a bit more ironed out.
all the best
Brian

I understand what you are saying - a site created in 3.5 has not been touched apart from minor updates and now that 5 is here the pain of 5 is too great to bear in one sitting.
This gets you into the realms of doing unpaid work where I have seen myself redo a 3.5 site in 4 (and then 5) so that when the day comes for the inevitable update I am ready.
I suppose you have to know your client to do this but if you do, it will save you later headaches and an easier way forward.

Well I touch it quite a lot - but it is multi sections and loads of tables
and carts that - when opened in 4 - was a total mess that required almost a
remake - so I backed off and just had 3.5.1.5 running when I needed it for
this client.
In 10.5 I haven’t that option.
I might see if I can make a minimal Tiger boot partition that works for such
a need and doesn’t use up so much space as my old cloned Tiger.
If the client ever wanted any level of redesign I’d bite the bullet and use
the change as an opportunity to update - but otherwise it would be a lot of
work to save myself a few reboots.

Is it then a candidate for a site splitting exercise at some point?

Hang on - it is already one large single site split into 5 sections - (5
Freeway documents).
I’ll just add the reboot time to the client’s bill until whenever.
I’m sure the next time I look at updating I wont be as afraid of cocking it
all up - so it might go easier.
all the best

Ahead of the game Brian - forward thinking, that is the key!
