Reply To: Working between PC and Mac

Amanda,
that is not a problem!!.
I am only one with PC in my job. Because i think work on PC is 30-40% faster then on MAC (my experience 5years on MAC – 7years on PC)

In this “crossplatform mode” you hit on those two issues:

1. FONTS – like “pessimist Niels” wrote :)
Easy sollution is convert them to open type and everyone just use this converted open type fonts.
I use TransType 4

2. LINKS – but you know: where the will, is way too.
just google and you find script, wich can covert you MAC patch to PC path and reverse.
If you work on network (I suppose yes) then here is example:

var PATH_FROM_LIST = [“VolumesDTP_01”]; – take MAC path
var PATH_TO_LIST = [“tronDTP_01”]; – and convert them to PC path (tron is name of our server)

Just be carefull with backslash and change “Volumes” to your server.
And then its not problem if you have a thousand folder behind “DTP_01” because the rest of path is the same like on MAC.
You can add many many path if you need.

For example you have 2 or more servers:

var PATH_FROM_LIST = [“VolumesDTP_02″,”VolumesDTP_03\DATA”];
var PATH_TO_LIST = [“SHELDONDTP_02″,”COOPERDTP_03\DATA”];

To reverse path PC to MAC is the path a little bit diferent. in this path you will see “colons “:” bud “You get the idea, right?” As David says :)

Sorry for my english ( everything i know in english is from movies and games)
