Watched folder reset after reboot

Bugs
1

Hi

Every morning when started my mac Fontbase´s watched folder is empty.
I can see watched folder name but there is nothing in inside.
I have to assign watched folder again, every morning. Then it works fine until reboot.
What I have to do to keep it always on?

  • OSX 26.4
  • FontBase 2026.3.0 (issue came since few updates ago)
  • Cause: Restarting mac. Every morning
  • If possible, attach a screenshot

Hello @pmauk0nen, thank you for your post :folded_hands:
Is the watched folder in question located on a local or a network drive?

Thank you,

Hi
Watched folder is on local drive

Hello @pmauk0nen, thank you for the quick reply :folded_hands:
That’s very odd and definitely not supposed to happen. Could you please describe what exactly do you mean by “assign watched folder”?

Thank you again,

Sorry about confusing sentence. I have to MANUALLY ADD watched folder again, every morning.

Hello @pmauk0nen, very sorry for the delay with updates on this one :pensive_face:
Unfortunately still trying to understand what is going on in this case. Does this happen with any watched folder or just a specific one?

Thank you,

I have one (1) local watched folder. On one hard drive where osx is.
I tested once that I rebuilded completely my watched folder in FontBase.
It didn´t fix the issue.

Deactivation is off on preferences, so next time you start mac there should be activation still ON.
But only what I see is my watched folder is still named, but all fonts disappeared from there.
So I have to manually set it by pressing +Add button and pick up watched folder again and tell where folder locating.
Then everything is ok until next day.

We have Fontbase awesome license.
Issue has been around 3-4 months now. Any OSX or Fontbase updates didn´t fix this)
