Family file in Dropbox

[Patricia Hansen]

I have a system that has worked wonderfully for a long time. That is: my family file is in Dropbox and I have the Reunion icon in my Dock. When I want to work on my family file I simple click on the icon in the Dock and this opens the file in Dropbox.

Now, for some unknown reason, and although I haven't changed anything, when I click on the icon what I get is the picture of Reunion (a family group) which includes the version 11.07 and that it is licensed to myself. This soon flashes off and a file opens which contains numerous documents about family members that I have saved over time; some of which have been placed in a persons's multi-media. To close this file I simply click done. Although the family file that is housed in Dropbox doesn't appear, the menu bar does say Reunion. In order to access my family file, I now have to open the DropBox folder, click on the Reunion family file, and it opens.

I have the same system set up in my MacBook Pro which works exactly as it should.I should add that I recently upgraded to El Capitan!

I would appreciate it if anyone can throw some light on this issue.

Thank you.

Re: Family file in Dropbox

Your family file should be in the dock (as an alias from the Dropbox folder) to the right of the divider, not the Reunion app's alias.

Thank you SGilbert for your response and advice re my Post. I have done as you suggest and it works well. Still curious though why my earlier system worked well until it surprisingly did not although it still works well on my MacBook Pro.

I have an alias of the Reunion app in the dock to the left of the line. When I click on it, it opens the last family file that I had open. This is if reunion is not already open. If reunion is already open I get the open file dialog box in reunion.
