I use Hero Lab on 2 different Mac computers and my ipad. All of my portfolios are in dropbox for ease of syncing. I typically make changes to the portfolios on any of these 3 devices (depending on which one I happen to be near when I decide to play around with character choices) but I generally use the ipad for actual game days. I've noticed that I frequently encounter error messages when I first open a portfolio on one device after having had it open on a different device. If I make any minor change to the portfolio (e.g. clicking a toggle box on), save it, quit Hero Lab, and restart Hero Lab, the error messages don't reoccur (until the next time I move between devices), so I can work around it but it is concerning. The exact error messages vary but they are all of this general variety:
Errors were encountered when loading the saved portfolio! A record of these errors can be found in the file "/var/folders/mg/4k9bh8c16jqd_l88q8g4bf5wjwk95f/T/hero_lab_load_issues.log". If you notice incorrect behaviors in your portfolio, please report it to the data file authors (you can contact them from the Help menu). Pick 'pMPFamKick' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '358' Pick 'pMPClDmMdf' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '358' Pick 'p3PBloodie' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '447' Pick 'pMPFamKick' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '471' Pick 'pMPClDmMdf' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '471' Pick 'p3PBloodie' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '560' Any suggestions or thoughts about what I can do to make this behavior go away? Thanks! |

Check that you have the same packages installed on all of the devices. Odds are you're missing one or two.

Hmm, ok, how do I do that? On the IPad/Updates, I can see that I have Pathfinder Roleplaying Game 13.20 and Pathfinder Pack 1.9 installed, but where do I look for the same information on the Mac app?
Also, I have retrieved my license on all 3 devices, so my permissions for datasets should be the same on each. |

And that error message isn't related to your official licenses - it's related to the user-created content you've added. You've added some user-created content on one system that you didn't add on the other. |

Once you install the Pack on all your devices you will not have issues on which computer/device you open the .por file on.

I'm guessing this means that I should delete the GM and Basic pack on both MacOS devices and install the Pathfinder Pack. Correct? I'll hold off doing that until I get a confirmation because I don't want to break anything. The help is much appreciated! I'm not a techie but I love Hero Lab and find the shadowchemosh add-on is really helpful. |

Thanks - that did the trick - I thought I had already done this on all 3 devices but apparently not. Much appreciate your help!
