Tech Tip: Multiple Client Cache Folders
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 18 | PLATFORM: Mac
Published On: January 4, 2021

If a new client cache folder is created each time a client connects to the server, this behavior may be caused by the 4D app being translocated. To verify if the 4D app is being translocated, check the inuse.txt file inside the cache folder while the client is connected to the server. The inuse.txt contains the application path. If the path shows something like "/private/var/folders/...", the app is being translocated.

The following recommendations to avoid translocation is to copy each app out of the DMG and into the Applications folder. Do not copy the entire folder containing the apps from the DMG into the Applications folder. If the translocation persists, try deleting the extended attributes of the app through terminal with the following command.

xattr -c FilePath_to_4Dapp
