#CITRIX VIEWER NOT OOPENING MAC#
I need to separate the text to make use of it in the Citrix-hosted Windows application.Ībout that third drawback: fortunately, there’s a way to preserve line breaks from Mac to PC. Each line break from the Mac side is deleted on the Windows side and the last word of one sentence is joined to the first word of the following line.
I have to be careful to not save the Windows version of the file, lest I lose the text I want to paste in the Citrix environment.It’s a simple workaround, but it is clunky in many ways:
(At this point, the file is being used by two different applications in two different places.) On the Mac, I opened the file using TextEdit, the Mac equivalent of Windows Notepad.I saved the document to my Mac’s desktop with the name “Mac2PC.txt”.In Citrix, I created a new NotePad document.The support person suggested I create a text document that’s available in both environments and use that for copy and paste. (I did not contact Citrix tech support at any point.) They told me I can’t do this copy-and-paste operation. I texted York’s support team for this Citrix environment. Copy and paste: a (work-intensive) workaround Given how frequently I use this basic feature, to have it blocked was frustrating. That means I ought to be able to copy things from one application and paste them to another, something computer users the world over have been doing for decades. Nothing works.Īs with Windows applications, I treat Citrix-hosted apps as windows on my Mac. I tried drag-and-drop, keyboard shortcuts, the context-sensitive menu. But I could not copy FROM my Mac TO the Citrix-hosted environment.I could not copy text from a web browser on my Mac to an application that’s hosted using Citrix Viewer. Thanks to the deep dive I’m taking into Studio, I’m getting more familiar with Citrix. York hosts Studio via WebFAS, its online portal handled by Citrix Receiver (which handles the overall virtual computing environment) and Citrix Viewer (part of Citrix Receiver, which handles individual applications).
#CITRIX VIEWER NOT OOPENING SOFTWARE#
This summer, I’m pursuing certification on SDL Trados Studio 2017, software used in the translation industry.
in Translation – French to English – at York’s Glendon College.) By hosting the software on its servers, York makes it possible for students to access it without extra cost (beyond tuition fees) so they can use it for class assignments. I use it to access software provided by York University for student use. Whether you use Windows or a Mac the work environment appears as intended (usually Windows) on your computer as a window into another computer.Ĭitrix is one of the more popular “tunnels” people use to turn their computers into terminals. Do you have an office job that lets you work remotely? If you do, chances are you work not so much on your computer as you do through a secure “tunnel” into your company’s servers.
