Java actionscript Desktop v laptop general question
Java actionscript Desktop v laptop question. I’m working on a scriptUI script it works beautifully on my PC desktop but doesn’t funtion properly on razer or mac laptop on both laptops it fails at the same point when i think the script is trying to store some info to xmp. so I’m not looking for a fix just wondered if any of you scripters have encountered this before and are there any general laptop v desktop gotchas I’m missing? thanks in advance

I’ve only done stuff in Windows, but my first thought would be that the paths are different for where you are storing/recalling information. Could be the difference on where the script is launching from too.

Hmmn I’ll investigate but I think if it was apath thing it might fail on the mac laptop but the windows one should have all the same paths. i’ll dig more
thank you for your reply

I’ve seen this too and it’s rarely desktop vs laptop.
When XMP writes fail on laptops, it’s usually permissions or user context. iCloud, OneDrive, or stricter macOS sandboxing can block or delay metadata writes even when paths match. Also double check AE versions, small build differences can break XMP calls.
I’d focus on permissions and where XMP is actually being written, not the hardware.

Hi thank you for your reply, I decided in the end to re work the script so it didn’t need xpm to run. It’s probably how I should have done it to start with:)
