O$ Studio 5.2.3.x and OSX 10.12.6 — anybody having issues in development mode

hi Andy.

the other thought I have is …. timer procedures under 10.12.6 — I’m finding that they are quirky with this release of the OS

sometimes, a direct application of a timer procedure will not fire — even if told to do so.

and the other thing we do is postgres sql calls in the background thread — which I know uses timer procedures as part of its implementation to get the data to the method that is to received i when the background thread is complete.

are you using a lot of those???
