Michael,

I am running MOI on OS 10.7.4 and have run into an issue with Illustrator 6.

Once MOI has been run, trying to launch Illustrator 6 fails and returns the message:

"Unable to set maximum number of files to be opened."

It doesn't matter whether MOI is still running or not - only that it was launched before trying to start Illustrator. If Illustrator was launched before MOI, it will continue to run, but once closed it cannot be restarted.

This scenario is repeatable and can only be corrected by restarting the computer.

Same behavior in 2.5 and 3.0 beta and only with Illustrator 6 (5.5 works fine). I have also been able to reproduce the problem on a different computer running OS 10.6.

It has proven to be somewhat inconvenient so I hope it can be resolved in the 3.0 release.

Thanks

Terry

Be sure you have updated your AI to the 6.0.xxxxxx version..

Hi Terry, I think I've seen some mention of Wineskin adjusting the max number of open files for some reason but if I remember right that's been changed to not do that anymore in the latest version.

So I think once I come back from vacation and roll out a new 2.52 release that should probably solve this problem, and also the next v3 beta should not have it anymore either. I'll double check on this when I get back from vacation, thanks for reporting the problem.

Thank you BurrMan. I have update and the issue is gone.

...still, MOI is altering the OS is a way that my 20 plus other apps are not...

That being said, I love it.

Michael,

You take vacations the way I do.

I upgraded as BurrMan suggested and the issue is gone. This is some very nice software you are building.

Thanks
