Using one folder for transfer is a good idea, once the main part is solved. If your Mac has discrete graphics, Parallels Desktop can use the macOS. I don’t like the way it is now I would prefer to keep them separate. That was not true when I used VMWare and Windows on my old Mac. I installed Windows a few months ago when I was working on an Audition project with another ACP and needed to have it for that project. Why do I need Windows now? Because of the way Acrobat differs on Mac and Windows, especially with Office.
But when OpenType came out, I dropped Windows (was that CS2 or CS3?) and have become less and less proficient in it over time. I used to be an expert in DOS and even in Windows, starting with the 2.0 text-driven version. Jeff, this sounds like what I need to do, but I need better steps. I tried the desktop and it was the same - it’s also on the “network”.
