Macintosh Tips

The User Guide initially started with a PC focus; however, it has been determined that a majority of the functionality between a PC and Mac is the same. The following “Macintosh Tips” are for the Mac users.

1. Installation instructions can be found on Mac Installation Instructions page

2. All cut/copy/paste functions within the Mac version of Genome Mate Pro are performed with a right mouse click, rather than with the keyboard commands

3. When opening Genome Mate Pro on a Mac running OS X Yosemite (10.10) or above, you may get the adjacent error message, or one like it.
   This doesn’t necessarily mean that something’s wrong with the app. It just means the app has not been reviewed by Apple, and OS X can’t tell whether the app has been modified or broken since it was released.
   After receiving this message, to allow Genome Mate Pro to continue opening, you can open System Preferences through the Apple Menu, go to Security & Privacy, and select "Open Anyway".
   Alternately, when opening Genome Mate Pro, hold down the control key, click on the app, and select "Open". This second option will save the Genome Mate Pro app as an exception to your security settings
   (see https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18657?locale=en_US for more information).

4. “X” close has been removed as it was not working with “RubberViews”.

5. There has been a dedicated Mac compiled version for Mac since 2020r01, however from time to time some minor program compilation / XOJO differences do show up.
