Filetypes Counter Upgrade Problem
Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2022 6:01 pm
I have an interesting situation. I use FileTypes counter. A LOT. All of my production flows have the element, and then connections reference the private data from the elements further down the line.
So my problem is: a few months ago, I updated from Folder Apps v2 to Folder Apps v3. For some reason this broke all of my production flows. I can't say much more than that - I just remember tons of jobs in the Problem Jobs, and prepress went down. I immediately rolled back to the older version to get us up and running again.
I want to try this upgrade again. But I fear everything will break, and I will be scrambling for a solution.
In the newer version documentation I can see that in addition to private data, Switch creates a dataset. In version 2, I have the private data keys defined. It stands to reason that upgrading the app would hold those same keys and everything should still work. The additional dataset would be added, but I would not be using that because it is not available to me now. I suspect that the upgrade version errors may be Switch attempting to make this dataset and for some reason it fails Who knows?
I am running Switch 2021 Fall on a Mac, running OS Monterey.
I know this is a vague question. Has anyone else experienced this same issue? If not I will just have to break everything and figure out how to get this upgrade working. I don't want to keep using an older version of an app, especially if I upgrade Switch to a newer version.
