Hi Howard
I have just updated my iMac to Sierra. While PAW2 appears generally to operate correctly, as far as I have tried, there seems to be an issue with outputting data from the program. I have attempted to produce a GEDCOM, and Write Text etc but each time when finally trying to <Save> from the "Export GEDCOM As" window (for example) it freezes, leaving no alternative but to Force quit. Any ideas!
Best wishes
Roger

Interestingly, this also occurs with the <Print Pedigree> but <Draw Pedigree> produces a jpg file.
In case my PAW2U family file was corrupted, I tried exporting with a different one - and the same problem occurred.

Best, Howard Update:I tried to export my .paw file (45K people) to a GEDCOM "for PAWriter (MacRoman)" to the Desktop. Also I tried to Print Pedigree to PDF (didn't want to waste paper). In both cases, all went well. The GEDCOM exported and the PDF was created. I'm running macOS Sierra 10.12.1 on my Late 2015 27" 5K iMac. (The only oddity I've experienced is that the saved files don't show up on the Desktop, but do show up if I do a find for the files. Weird, but I think that's just my problem.) Maybe you could send me your .paw file as an attachment to an email and i would see if it works here. Best, Howard

Hi Howard
Thanks for all your help with this. Looks as though it is an isolated (though potentially insoluble) problem for my iMac alone.
Best wishes
Roger

For interest, this problem has gone away and all is working fine. Now using OS 10.12.6 - not sure at what update of Sierra it was resolved, as I have been engaged on other matters this year.
