SOLVED (I Think)!!! NO WILDTOOLS and .dmg not recognized

Post by snydmax » Tue Dec 28, 2021 5:41 pm

EDIT... while I have solved the .dmg issue, I do not have Wildtools now that the update has been installed

Hopped on the forum today to see if I could figure out a couple of techniques. Boy was I excited to hear there may be a future for the platform!

Anyway, on to my issue... I am running version 9.1.10 and I see that 9.1.11 is the current version. Went to try and download the latest update and it isnt working. I am getting a message that "the following disk images couldn't be opened... image not recognized."

Any help?

Thanks for the encouragement @Alfred Scott! The download was hanging up in my browser... hit "retry" and she began to download. Appears we are on the way to being "current" albeit on OS Mojave

So now that I have successfully updated to 9.1.11 I do not have any of the wildtools... I downloaded and installed the "expert" package. What am I doing wrong?

Go to OpenClip.net to get it.

Alright... I must be missing something. I replaced the "Wildtools" folder within the "Plugins" folder as directed by the download at openclip... no change. I still do not have wildtools

OK! I finally managed to get things working!!! In order to help some other poor sap in the future, here is what I think was taking place... I originally downloaded the update using firefox. No matter how many times, ways (or positions I sat in) seemed to get wild tools to work.

So, I thought I'd try to use Safari. Downloaded the file, installed it the same way and we are working! Not sure what the heck was going on but its working.

Thanks again Alfred for jumping in and offering ups some help. Cant wait for the new version
