Ever wondered how to change the web browser preferences on the Notes 8.5 Standard client on the Mac? It’s not obvious (the setting isn’t available via Manage Locations):
This is the answer according to IBM Support:
Please follow the work around steps below.
– Exit the client
– Edit the Notes Preference file (found in /Library/Preferences)
– Add this line: UseBasicNotes=1 just after Timezone=-8
– Save the file
– Start Notes client and you’ll see it in Basic mode
– Then edit the location document and change the Internet Browser setting from “2” to either Safari or Firefox.
– Save the location document changes and Exit the client again
– Edit the Notes Preference file (found in /Library/Preferences)
– Remove the line UseBasicNotes=1
– Save the notes preference file.
– Start Notes Client again
– Edit the Notes Preference file (found in /Library/Preferences)
– Add this line: UseBasicNotes=1 just after Timezone=-8
– Save the file
– Start Notes client and you’ll see it in Basic mode
– Then edit the location document and change the Internet Browser setting from “2” to either Safari or Firefox.
– Save the location document changes and Exit the client again
– Edit the Notes Preference file (found in /Library/Preferences)
– Remove the line UseBasicNotes=1
– Save the notes preference file.
– Start Notes Client again
Let’s hope that this glitch is fixed in 8.5.1, eh?
