#2421 — fmp12 and El Capitan

My Mac is nagging me to upgrade to El Capitan. Currently running 10.8.5 Mountain Lion. Will my fmp12 Advanced work with El Capitan? My program contains some Apple Scripts. Any other issues?

Thanks

DO NOT do it.  One of the possible issues is that FMP will crash if you 
have anything other than one window open.  Ummm, that's a serious problem.

My FMP works flawlessly under El Capitan. No problems at all

Not on your topic, but I'm running Lion (10.7.x) and I get no nagging at
all. Why not?

The "nagging" (popup message on the screen) was a new feature added to
App Store around the time Mavericks (10.9) was released. Earlier systems
(Snow Leopard 10.6.x, Lion 10.7.x and Mountain Lion 10.8.x) got a
software update called "App Store Update 1.0".

Part of that update was a "noticeboard" launch agent which periodically
checks with Apple to see if there are any messages to display. I've
observed pop-up messages suggesting upgrades to later OS versions
(Mavericks and Yosemite, at least) about once every two weeks, typically
each time I start up an occasionally used virtual machine running an
older system.

I haven't seen any since El Capitan was released. Perhaps they've
changed the schedule and CRC123 got unlucky.

If you never installed that software update, then your system won't be
checking for or displaying the notices.

If you have no Internet connection, the notice mechanism can't check
with Apple.

If your Mac is not able to upgrade to a later system than Lion, Apple
might have got smart and stopped sending the notice to incompatible
systems.

There is also the banner advertisement in App Store (on the Updates
tab), but you won't see that unless you run App Store. That banner ad
appears whether or not your computer is compatible with the later
system.
