2 partitions, one Lion and one Snow Leopard

Gilles9

Hello,



so in Lion I use 3.9.2 MAS, and want to use this version



in SL I use 3.8.13,



both with the most recent extension in Safari



Why is it that after having used SL , I restart in Lion and 1Password uses 3.8.13 from my SL partition instead of 3.9.2 MAS from my Lion partition ?

What are the exact paths to the application bundles?



They should begin with /Volumes/…



I should note, however, that in your case it may make much more sense to use 3.8 if you are sharing an Applications folder across multiple partitions on the same machine. [i]There is no requirement to use 3.9 in Lion.[/i]

Hey Gilles



I would like to add to your post, and just add somethings I have found on my own. If you run FF you will notice it will also try to use fonts from the other partition. If you have Xcode installed on one and try to get the other via the MAS it will balk saying you have a version already installed.



If you have apps from the MAS in 1 and they are older as you don't want to update etc. The updater will look across the partitions and tell you that there is an update even if you are not in that OS at that moment.



Its a royal PIA at times. Luckily there is an easy fix. SImply unmount the partition before checking for updates for example.



I think khad's suggestion is the best one and use 3.8 at the moment. I recently went back to the 3.8 series myself and moved away from the MAS for a while. There wasn't an issue just more of a I am able to control my own app, put my backups where I want them and so forth. Thats not available with the MAS version. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

OK I don't mind the 3.8.x version has more options anyway than the MAS

but what will happen with v. 4.x.x, don't I read it will be MAS only



I suppose you suggest it will all be fix by then ...



Thanks

There was a post by Dave in the other support channel. Where folks were asking about that.

4.0 will be Lion-only (as 3.9 already is). You will need to be sure that you are not sharing an Applications folder across the different OS X installations. I'd say let's cross that bridge when we come to it since I would be troubleshooting a hypothetical 1P4 build at this point. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />



If you are satisfied with 3.8 in SL and Lion, that would seem to be the solution for now.
