Window Woes

Hi Bernard, Thank you for your quick response. I forgot to mention that I’m using Alpha 9.2.3 on Catalina (10.15.7). I’m also running other computers with Mojave (10.14.6) and El Capitan (10.11.6), but nothing later. I have not yet ventured into Big Sur, so I can’t speak to any shortcuts it has hijacked. While I was surprised to find that a recent version of Alpha had taken back Command-Option-D from the Dock, I don’t need you to make any change there. I have already achieved the solution I need...

Hi Bernard, Thank you very much for explaining this to me. For what it’s worth, I was looking to restore the saved patters from the old machine. I did not dare to hope that the transient recent patterns might be accessible. That is quite nice.

Thank you for suggesting this. Best, John On May 31, 2021, at 11:00 AM, Bernard Desgraupes...

This time, it is Alpha 9.0.7 on a 2008 MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan (10.11.6). On a third computer, a 2014 MacBook Pro running Alpha 9.1.1 and macOS Mojave (10.14.6), I get the same results.

Hi Bernard, It sounds like this is not happening to you. Thank you for confirming this; it gives me hope I can get this resolved. Yes, I am familiar with the Hide Extension checkbox. When I first noticed the problem, I immediately checked to see if that was the problem. However, there is no such checkbox in Alpha’s Save As dialog box. Also, if that were the issue, the extension would still be there, so Alpha would correctly color the text. It does not in this case. I am using Alpha 9.2.2 on a 2019...
