GC 8.0 (804) Starts all by itself

Post by Robert Poland »

Hi, GC 8.0 (804) Starts all by itself. I have yet to find what triggers the App. It's like it wants attention, the App opens but doesn't contain any images. It's like it is tied to some other operation. Am I the only one? TIA, Robert Poland - Fort Collins, CO

You don't have a script that could be accidentally activating it? Have you rebooted? That's all I can think of offhand. -- Best Regards, Chris

Chris, I think I found it. A folder with 4 MP4 files seemed to trigger GC every time it was closed. I moved the files to a new folder and trashed the old one. We'll see if it reoccurs… On Apr 1, 2012, at 8:49 PM, Christopher Stone wrote: > On Apr 01, 2012, at 17:31, Robert Poland wrote: >> GC 8.0 (804) Starts all by itself. >> >> I have yet to find what triggers the App. It's like it wants attention, the App opens but doesn't contain any images.

Unless perhaps you had a folder-action attached to that folder. -- Best Regards, Chris

Chris, As near as I could tell there were no folder actions. I did play around with aliases. Seemed like the best solution was to scrap the folder and start over.
