0 markdd Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I believe that the check mark is a one-time operation and is meant to “force” a data export. You need to make sure that you have Lightwright data exchange turned on. I have only had problems when the xml file that exchanges info with lightwright is not located in the same folder as the file. Try keeping all the files in the same location and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment
0 dwdavedw Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 I think the checkmark used to stay on - why would it not? LW exchange is on in LW, and the files are all in the same folder. Everytime I need to go back to LW, I have to open spotlight prefs and click that box again, and even then sometimes it doesn't update LW. Also LW then turns it's link off after a while, so have to do it in both apps. Sometimes I have to quit both, then open them both up again, and then LW will ask to verify what changes to accept. Very annoying and waste of time. Quote Link to comment
