Issues

  • When installing Tom Sawyer Perspectives on Microsoft Windows 10, this warning may display: "Windows protected your PC: Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk." We confirm that our installer is signed with a valid Tom Sawyer Software digital certificate, and you can safely click the "Run anyway" button to install the software.
  • Uninstalling or reinstalling Tom Sawyer Perspectives removes all files from the installation directories, even those created after the initial installation. Therefore, it is not recommended to store any additional files in the installation directories.
  • Tom Sawyer Licensing does not always run automatically after the installation of Tom Sawyer Perspectives on Apple macOS and must be run manually. From the Tom Sawyer Perspectives installation directory, open bin/Tom Sawyer Licensing Setup.
  • The integration with MongoDB Atlas requires Java 8, or Java 11.0.6 or later.
  • There is an issue using the default configuration for the https protocol with the Neo4j integrator. Contact Support for assistance in using this configuration.
  • Use of OpenJDK 11 can cause issues with multiline, vertical, and diagonal edge labels in desktop applications on Windows. This issue does not occur when Tom Sawyer Perspectives is used with OpenJDK 14.
  • Starting the Designer through the command shell can show an "Illegal Access" warning caused by third-party libraries.
