How To install Filters on FF Beta 6.0

Hy guys, I purchases the mac version of FF4.0 over 2 years ago, but I could NEVER use it, since it wouldn't even open on my machine. Version 5 doesn't work as well, so I got advised by the support to use the Beta 6 version...it runs at least, but it doesn't Installs new filters

When Beta 6 opened I thought I could, at least, get one job done with the 30 day trial, and have my money worth, but I was wrong When I try to download a filter I get a message that the access to the server is disabled for this version.


So, Is it possible to get some danm filters installed on Beta 6? How do I do it? Will I ever get my money worth or was I fooled again?

Thank you and sorry for the rage!

While LexArt is correct please note that Librarian 5 only works with Filter Forge 5, so you won't be able to integrate it with FF6. You may want to go with the Library Backup zip file for $29.

Sorry that I do not understand why it does not work for you, what OS X version are you using?

There must be a reason why you can not make it work, as surely it works well on MacOS as mostly all the mac users are able to use it

I did not know that for using Librarian you need to have FF 5.0, I think that this may be because it needs to have access to the filter library server

this is wrong, if you read correctly the answer of GMM, you only have to pay 29$ not 69$, with the 29$ you get all the filters and you can install them inside FF 6

I'm sorry to hear that you're not able to get your software installed and working on your machine. I've been using filter Forge on Mac for many years, over many OS versions (and Filter Forge versions), without any trouble.

If you are having trouble using the regular *released* version that you paid for, then perhaps you should work on solving that problem before installing less stable and reliable pre-release software. To get help with that installation, try posting in the bugs and problems forum for Mac users - https://www.filterforge.com/forum/list.php?FID=16

You should also be as specific as possible (unlike your posts here). Includes specifics about your machine and type (late 2009 iMac, etc), as well as your system configuration (memory, GPU, etc) and your OS version. The people on this board are helpful, but they're not in the room there with you, and only know the system details that you're able to share. Also, try to be as specific as you can about the problem you're having. Doesn't work - when you click on the icon does anything happen? Do you see an error message (and if so, what does it say exactly)?

I also recommend trying to launch the program after rebooting the machine, and after quitting out of all other programs you may have running. This makes troubleshooting a bit easier. Once you've got it working you can then try running it with other programs, and if a problem pops up then at least you'll have a better idea of where to look.

Good luck!

GMM? Could you shed some light on this?

GMM, Can The Liberian V5 create library backup zip files that will work in FF6?

Does this imply that we'll see significant changes to the server-side (i.e. filter library) features in the next beta stage, or am I reading too much into this statement.

Damn! I was so looking forward to the Filter Library redesign!
