Disk Tracker files are no more opened

Question

Disk Tracker files are no more opened

Hi,

After installing 10.4.2 in one of our new G5s, we are not able to open our disk tracker files which is created with Disk tracker 2.2.2. But we are able open them in panther. The icons of those files are shown as terminal files (unix). Though I changed the option "open with" to disk tracker application, none of them are shown in disk tracker. Can any one solve this?. Since we have thousands of disk tracker files which are used for searching our old files, we badly need to solve this.

Thanks a lot in advance

Zac.

G5 2.3 GHZ Dual, 1 GB Ram, 250 GB SATA Mac OS X (10.4.2)

If you launch the disk tracker application can you open the files within it?

Matthew & Hyphen,

I did contact Portents and they told me to try with Disk Tracker 2.3.2 but still no luck.The icons of the old disktracker files are still shown as terminal files in the 10.4.2 OS.I can read them all in panther with Disk tracker 2.2.2. So I guess the 10.4.2 is the culrpit not the disk tracker.

I do not get any error message as such, rather the files are not opened.

Thanks

Zac

Hi Zac

Can you start the Console application (/Application/Utilities) and check the console and system logs for entries related to Disk Tracker? You could also try to start Disk Tracker and open one of the files to see if there any messages in the logs. If there are could you please post them here?
