Rhino for Mac opening Files from Server: Read only

Hi everyone,

now that Enscape is available for Rhino 7 on the mac im thinking about switching to OSX because that was the only missing piece. Unfortunately I have a weird problem: Rhino on the mac always tells me that it can open files from the Server only in “Read Only” Mode. Its the same in Rhino 7 and Rhino 8 on my Mac (can not wait to use 8 with Enscape 4, its so much faster, wow!).

Any idea what the Problem might be? I found one User with a similar Problem here on the Forum, but the proposed solution, turning of the preview in finder, did not help.

On my Windows Laptop i can open the same files without any problems. The files are on the same server and i am using the same vpn to access them.

Same issue here, files from server only open in Read only.
The only thing that works is copying the file to local machine to open it properly.

I already disabled file locking but this makes no difference.

It’s strange that some users have this issue and other don’t.

Hi Ismail-

In an evaluation version of Rhino 8 for Mac…please attach a screenshot command+shift+4 of the Read Only dialog you are seeing when attempting to open a file on a network drive.

As a test, after you get the screenshot, please also run Rhino 8’s TestToggleMacAutosaveVersions and temporarily disable macOS’s Autosave/Versions feature. Restart Rhino. Do you get the same dialog?

(You can re-enable macOS Autosave/Versions by running the TestToggleMacAutosaveVersions again and restarting Rhino).
