Also Born...have you used VPS + yet. You have to if you are using Catalina or newer. Prepare for disappointment. :rotf: If you are still on Mojave or earlier you will continue to use the legacy VPS.

The version that installs with Prinergy is pretty close to unusable unless they have the latest beta version installed. Or they may have released it from beta and it might install with Prinergy 9.0.2. It has been almost 3 months since I've seen Prinergy. If you need the latest beta I can get it to you. The latest beta is a lot better than what came with our install of Prinergy 9.0.2.

We are on Mojave... for now, we plan to do the Macs OS later... sounds like we should drag our feet but we want to update Adobe CC so likely cannot. I was reading all this these past month and hoping the Prinergy upgrade would be put off long enough that we would get 9.5 instead of 9.0.2 but no luck.
Thanks Joe

Yeah creative cloud made us upgrade too which meant Catalina or later. That made for a busy last month at work for me upgrading 14 Macs to Catalina/Big Sur.

Good luck on the upgrade. I will note that before I left at the end of December we never ran into having those marks move on us. Not sure if they have seen it since the beginning of the year though.

That's a relief indeed, the marks moving into the live work area does not sound like an upgrade to me!

The marks moving is why I have been dragging my heals on the upgrade, even though my boss wants me to upgrade Prinergy. That part scares me.

So we are on Prinergy 9.0.2
We started upgrading macs to Catalina
I knew about VPS+ and clued my friend in...
He can't get it to open a VPS file(s) at all - they are greyed-out / not recognized by VPS+

Does anyone know what I'm missing or need to do?
thanks...

There has GOT to be a better way though...

What version of VPS+ are you using? You might need to re-install it after Catalina was installed. If it was installed in may still think VPS Legacy is still the default application. Also try doing a COMMAND+I on a VPS file and make sure the default application is VPS+. I never had to rename the VPS files with a plus to open them.

ok, adding + wasn't it
hit cmnd I on a vps file and changed default app to VPS+ for all
seems to be working now, lol, old trick that.
I had already reached out to Kodak, curious what they will say about it.
All's well that ends well.
and thanks... everyone... but David  :sarcasm:

So yeah. VPS+
...more like VPS-
it sucks so bad.
can't move the ruler origin to quickly confirm sheet size
it's low res, even vector type
moirês on some screens at some view/zooms
eyedropper is there but does not work
I am so sick of downgrades.
You hear us Kodak?
ugh.

What version do you have? I sent you a link to the latest beta version a few weeks ago via PM. Did you try it? It is much better than what was released with Prinergy 9.x.

you offered to send the beta but I didn't ask (yet)
I would love to try if you would share the link - thanks Joe!

The link was in the PM I sent you. Do you still have it?
