Students using tracker on Macs are not finding their project files

Greetings,

My Students using Tracker on Macs are not finding their project files. They said that they had no problem installing Tracker. They used it to analyze videos, saved the project file, but they could not find it afterwards.

Checking in case it is a Mac security issue. I don't have access to one to test it myself.

Thanks.

Taha

Just to clarify, do you mean that they saved a TRK file in a known folder but the file was never written? Does the file show up in the File|Open recent menu? If so does it open? If so then the tooltip for that will show the file path. Also, after saving you can choose File|Properties and see the path of the Tracker file.
