Frequently Asked Questions

Will Gallery Card Insert Maker be available in the Mac App Store?
Version 1 will not be available in the Mac App Store, however version 2 (which is under development) may very well be (subject to gaining Apple approval, of course).

Is Gallery Card Insert Maker compatible with Mac OS X Lion?
The new disappearing scroll bars can cause an issue in the preview window so we suggest you don't try to scroll in there. However even if you do printouts won't suffer. Apart from that Gallery Card Insert Maker will run on Lion.

It's possible that version 2 (when it is eventually released) will require Lion as its minimum OS.

Will the preview problem in GCIM be fixed for Mac OS X Lion?
No. The application works fine with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, although the preview window can become corrupt if you try to scroll in it. It's not intended to fix this "problem" as all development is currently focused on the completely revamped version 2 of the program.

Is there a version of Gallery Card Insert Maker available for operating systems other than Mac OS X?
There are currently no plans to create a version for Linux or Windows and no plans to support versions of OS X earlier than 10.5.

If you feel strongly on the subject and wish that your OS was supported, then please use the feedback page to let me know.

When I run the software nothing happens
It is likely that you are attempting to run the software on a version of Mac OS X prior to 10.5. Check that your system meets the minimum requirements shown on the download page.

I want to use my keywords and/or paper presets for other users on my Mac but they only show up for me. How can I fix this?
Keywords and paper presets are stored at a user level as it's usual for different people to want to maintain their own settings. However, if you want to set up keywords and paper presets under one log in and make this available to other users of your computer simply copy the folder ~/Library/Application Support/Gallery Card Insert Maker/ to the same location for all relevant users. Note that doing this will replace their existing settings! Note that Library folders are all hidden on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion although you can get to the folder using the "Go" menu item in the Finder.

If you only want to duplicate either keywords or paper presets then instead of copying the entire folder, make a copy of the relevant file within that folder.

How do I move the application to another computer?
Copy the software from your Applications folder to the other computer. If you want to retain your keywords and paper presets also copy the folder ~/Library/Application Support/Gallery Card Insert Maker/ to the same location on the other Mac. Note that Library folders are all hidden on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion although you can get to the folder using the "Go" menu item in the Finder.

What about program updates?
Gallery Card Insert Maker includes the excellent open source Sparkle framework. This enables new versions to be delivered to you and installed automatically when they become available. When a new version is released you will see a message on screen asking if you want to install the update.
