Hi.
The good news: Mulberry 4.0.8 mostly works under Win 7 Pro 64
The bad news:
When one uses "view parts", its API apparently interacts with
Windoz to put the file in one place but tells the application to
open it in another. For example, for an HTML body part that one
wants to open in a browser, the file is deposited at
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files
(x86)\Mulberry\Temporary Files/View
Attachments\somefilename.html.
(Where all of this except "username" and "somefilename" are
literally present -- I couldn't make that up.)
It then tells the browser to open
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mulberry\Temporary Files\View
Attachments\somefilename.html
That doesn't work very well, especially since I don't think the
Data Execution Protection stuff would let it store a data file
at the latter location even if it wanted to without a lot of "do
you want to let this modify the machine" warnings.
I assume that other versions of Win 7, including the 32bit ones,
would have much the same problem but have no way to verify that
at the moment.
So:
(1) Anyone else seeing this?
(2) Anyone have a workaround? I don't suppose there is some
secret setting somewhere that I could tweak. Since both folders
are Mulberry-specific subtrees, would putting a link in help
(assuming I could figure out how to do that)?
(3) If nothing else, this probably belongs on the list of things
for which people should pay attention as they work on new
versions... we should be so lucky.
