BUG: Saving dialog shows strange path

Post by Travis »

I made a change to my analysis toolbar. I then close the model and separately quit Vensim (v.7.3). I was prompted to save the Analysis toolset and the dialog box looked like this. Note: it has a weird hash for my hard drive name and Vensim DSS DP is located a folder named "d" (when it is in the normal /Applications folder).

Screenshot attached.

Not sure what I'm seeing here, but the drive name looks ok in v8. However, it does default to a bad location in MacOS it appears.

This happened to me again, this time when I was trying to load an Analysis toolbar. Another screenshot attached.

I'm not seeing this on OSX 10.14 or 10.11.

I have FileVault turned on. I wonder if that matters? Also, is your volume formatted APFS or HFS? Fusion drives might be HFS still, and I’m on SSD with APFS.

My drive is definitely HFS. Will seek another for testing.

Yes, there could be something to HFS vs. APFS, since APFS references volumes differently, and I think uses some long hash like is showing in the screenshots.

My drive is a SSD, APFS formatted and encrypted.
