Dropbox Problem?

[Bob White]

Being used to getting the Reunion is open on another Mac message.... I was quite surprised when I powered up my MacBook Pro and was able to boot up Reunion while it is open on my iMac. No difference in the file name. Not in the startup folder on either Mac. Both devices are on Reunion 12 (200127) and macOS 10.15.4 and Dropbox 93.4.273. Is this a new bug or a new design?

I realize this is an old post, but wondering if this was an anomaly. I just replaced my MacBook Air 13" 2010 with a "new-to-me" MacBook Pro 13" 2017, deleted all old devices from my Dropbox and signed in with with my Mac Book Pro. I opened the Reunion v13 family file I had uploaded to Dropbox and it did, in fact, close on my iMac, which is what I generally use. Due to two unrelated cancers and the chemotherapy, surgery, etc., I now need to be able to work while resting in my recliner. This is certainly a hassle, to have to have the desktop version of Reunion close because I am on my MacBook Pro.

I have yet been able to locate the "manual" mentioned in the CD case of the older version of Reunion. I have always paid for upgrades when released. Is there such a manual as the Electronic Manual mentioned?

Yes. It is something that should not happen.

Yes. To access it, open your family file and click on the "?" in the lower-left corner of just about any Reunion window...

...or click on the "Help" menu along the top of your monitor and select Contents from the menu that appears...

I hope you find this information helpful

To add to Deb's reply, I never did see that happen again. My vote goes for it was an anomaly. I didn't notice that there was no reply back then.
