Foxtrot pro unable to connect to index [message #290] Tue, 28 April 2015 00:07 Go to next message

I've owned Foxtrot professional for a little over a year now. I love the
application except for one thing. I frequently get a message from Foxtrot
saying it can't connect to my index. I recently downloaded the latest beta
hoping that perhaps things would be better but there's been no positive
change in this regard. Can someone give me some suggestions on what might
be causing this behavior. Sometimes Foxtrot will just "find" the index if
I close the program and reopen it again but lately that hasn't been working
much and now it looks like I have to rebuild/recreate my index again. I'm
on OS X 10.9.5 and currently running Version 5.1b3 build 1355 of Foxtrot.
Thanks

When this occurs, you can try to quit FoxTrot, and relaunch it while pressing the command and option keys, then check the "force-quit agents" checkbox. You can also send a report, and if you do so, please try to indicate what happened exactly, and what error dialog you got.
