POSIX Path fix from 19.x no longer working in v 20.x...

Report · Jan 22, 2025

We use CSV table imports for a bunch of text and logos, and the logos would not import under 19.x. We did the fix of deleting Enable_Posix_Path and it worked as expected. Unfortunately, now that is no longer a valid fix for 20.x.

It would be unfeasable for us to fix how we do the paths in the CSV files we use (there are thousands, and we use OneDrive, so everyone's Mac has a different user folder, so you cannot update the path to work for everyone).

Is there any help available for this?

Thanks!

I did not long before you sent this. It is unfortunate that they instituted this change, which requires my group to scramble to reorder folders on our server to accomodate it so that my group can return to working properly.

Do you have your CSV files already prepared - or are you exporting them on demand?

We have them already prepared. I am going to have to restructure the folders since my group uses OneDrive and POSIX needs to have a complete folder structure unless the place you are looking is a subfolder inside the folder containing the CSV. After that, I will have to use MassReplaceIt to find/replace in all of the hundreds of CSVs we use.

I'm not a Mac owner/user - but can't you just edit CSV files - without restructuring your folder structure?

Can you post a sample CSV file - or a screenshot - just few lines. You can click my nickname if you prefer to send it privately.

I'm pretty sure there should be tools to edit multiple CSV files in bulk on a Mac.

If they are not available - then it can be easily done on a PC.
