Post Process Bug: OSX - network mounted disk not recognized on first try

Saving a Post Process on OSX to a network mounted disk (Cmd + K -> afp://DS416slim.local) fails for the first time. The save button "OK" is disabled. See attached screencapture.

 

A workaround is available: just try it a second time and then the save button "OK" is magically enabled.

 

Would be nice if this bug could be solved for OSX users 🙂

Hmm. That is an odd one.

It looks like the only 2 cases that should make the OK button disabled are if the post processor path isn't set, or if some of the property values are not valid.

It doesn't appear that either of those are the case for you.

Where have you specified the network-mounted disk? Usually that would be prompted for after you hit the OK button.

Network disk is automatically mounted by OSX at for example: /Volumes/cnc/versteendhout/D/

I'm stumped.

I just tested this on my Mac, and it seemed fine.

Does it behave this way regardless of the post that's selected?

For my workprocess I have configured a Post Process of source type "Personal Post" with the post processor "WinPC-NC"

 

When I configure a Generic Post, for example one named WinCNC, the status behaviour of the "OK" button is the same as described above. First the button is disabled, on the second try the button is enabled.

Even when the OSX network disk mount is not available anymore the "OK" button is disabled the first time.

The second the post proces window is opened the "OK" button is enabled and then the finder windows shows a default path because the previous path couldn't be found.

 

For me it seems a OSX finder integration problem where Fusion 360 fails to wait for a result returned from the finder. But that's just my opinion without having any inside details nor knowledge about OSX Finder integration.
