Make Storyline Mac Friendly--and Soon!
Hey, Phil--thanks for the update. If the Time Machine automated backup feature I'm told is included with Mac would back up all the Windows files in the Parallels 7 world, even with the Sharing feature turned off per Articulate Support's instructions, that would be great! At least it would simplify the process of backups from the two "worlds" on my Mac. I wasn't planning to buy Apple's Time Capsule because I don't need a router; I have my Verizon account router. So I hope Time Machine backing up to a USB storage drive will do the trick. Interestingly, the Apple "Genius" I spoke with at length this morning didn't know what you've just told me; he's the one who said I'd have to partition the drive with two different formats. I mentioned the exFat32 possibility to him, but he didn't know about that, either. Hmmm.... 
Yes, I'm told that some of the Articulate development team uses Macs, so there is definitely more than a little irony to the fact that so far, Storyline is decidedly not Mac friendly. Let's hope that they address this situation soon. Unfortunately, it'll be after I've spent about another $300 on Windows-related software. I'm sure you've put in a feature request on this point, and I hope that others will, too! My fear is that people will not bother to submit the feature requests even if they do use a Mac, and then Articulate won't have a true sense of the extent of the need. Let's hope people step up and file the requests.
Folks--If you do file a Mac-friendliness request, please post a comment on this thread to let us know you did. Thanks!
