![]() One of the Library folders* if it is part of the original software install and then never (or rarely) written to after that. With good quality third party software, and with pretty much all of apple's software, the rules are: The upside is that I also transferred my maps folder from the iMac as well and that worked without a hitch (I didn't even have to unlock them as one of the files in the Maps folder was unlock codes).Ĭlick to expand.It's all over the shop with third party software, especially from big brand stuff like Garmin where something has simply been ported from windows, with little attention paid to how things are normally done on a mac. That worked to move my entire collection of waypoints and routes, but it was not organized into Lists. I then just moved them into the appropriate folder in the lIbrary (.Garmin/Basecamp/3.2, if I recall correctly). Given that, I simply transferred the two files of interest (there were only two files and their backups) from the iMac to the MacBook, again using AirDrop. When I tried to restore the file(s), the Downloads folder was greyed out, for whatever reason. However, AirDrop saves the transferred file(s) to the Downloads folder on the target computer (MacBook). Backing up on the iMac was easy, as was moving that backup from the iMac to my MacBook using the AirDrop function. I could not get backup/restore to work, though that may be more a comment on my skills. Even more basic, is there an easier way to get my Basecamp data from my iMac to my MacBook Air? Probably pretty basic questions, but it's got me stumped for now. Can I assume that my Lists (as created on my iMac) reside in this file? If so, is there any way I can open that file, or somehow copy/move it to the Garmin/Basecamp/Database/3.2 folder on my MacBook so it's accessible in Basecamp on the MacBook. I have not been able to open the "FolderData.gfi" file in my Downloads folder, even when I tell it to use Basecamp. It's just one long list under "My Collection"/Recently Imported. It would seem all my data is there, in the form of waypoints and routes. I then double-clicked on the "AllData.gdb" file and it opened in Basecamp. ![]() They were both saved to the Dowmloads folder. I copied those two files to my MacBook using AirDrop. I found two files (and backups? - ".bak") in the Garmin/Basecamp/Database/3.2 folder: "AllData.gdb" and "FolderData.gfi". Unfortunately I have to keep using the app because I’m not the boss, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with teams bigger than 10 people.Now that I've found the folder I want, it seems like I have an even more basic question. It just seems like this app won’t really ever get a real update. I’ve left messages with the support team about some of these issues but they just say “that’s a really good idea” and then nothing happens. For example, any user in a project or team can delete the project/team and put it in the trash! It’s not hard to recover, but still, poor functionality. You can’t lock certain things on the app or have any admin control. You just make lists of to-dos and assign them but there isn’t any conditional functions or order to it. There isn’t really anyway to set up workflows. People are constantly double texting, and it sends a notification for each message. My biggest problem is that you can’t silence group pings (chats). There really isn’t any customization at all. creating tasks and assigning them are easy as well, however it is a bit simple. I’ve been using Basecamp with my company for 3 years or so. You never know what you had until it’s gone.Įasy to use but no product updates in 3 years It’s why those that leave end up coming back and sticking with us the second time around. It’s why teams that sometimes leave in search of “more power” end up slamming into the consequences of over-powered software: Complexity. Not on separate platforms scattered in various places, but all intuitively organized in one centralized place where everyone can work together.īasecamp’s intentionally simple by design. Perfected and pressure-tested by hundreds of thousands of teams on millions of projects, Basecamp’s the gold standard for a simpler, superior version of project management.īasecamp works because it’s the easiest place for everyone in every role to put the stuff, work on the stuff, discuss the stuff, decide on the stuff, and deliver the stuff that makes up every project. ![]() ![]() For nearly two decades, we’ve continually refined a unique set of tools and methods to fundamentally reduce complexity, and make project management more of a joy and less of a chore. Unfortunately, lots of software makes it worse by over-complicating things. Managing people and projects under pressure is tough enough.
