Gorilla FAQ
Q. Gorilla will not install on my hard drive.
 A.
Search your Hard Drive and ensure that you do not have any other copies
of Gorilla (including Demo copies) installed. If you do, remove them all
and then install Gorilla.
Q. The program quit and now will not allow me to re-open my project.
I get a message saying my file has been damaged.
A.
If you have File Maker Pro V6, follow the instructions in Section 4.7
of the Manual (the .pdf file which ships with Gorilla) to repair the file.
If you do not have File Maker, you can email the file to Jungle Software
(www.support@junglesoftware.com) and they will attempt to repair it for
you.
Q: How do I share Gorilla files with another user?
A:
Since Gorilla has many modules, you need to copy all the modules to the
other user's computer. For detailed instructions on how to do this, please
download the Sharing Gorilla Files document.
Q: On the Breakdown Screen, the mini-strips do not appear on the right-hand
side of the screen. They are all blank. How do I make them appear?
A:
Your breakdown sheets are not attached to a production phase. For instructions,
see Manually Attaching a Production Phase to a Breakdown Sheet in the
manual.
Q: When upgrading from version 1.3.x to version 2.x, my budget and my
schedule are gone. Where is my data?
A:
There are special update instructions to transfer your budget and schedule
information to version 2.0 from an earlier version of Gorilla. Please
read the Updater Read Me file located in the updater folder for instructions.
Q: When I change my project's title on the Projects Screen, the title
doesn't update everywhere else. How do I change my project's title globally?
A:
Go back to the Projects Screen and re-select the Current Project checkbox.
This will update the new project title throughout Gorilla.
Q: When I try to import data from another file, I cannot see the file
even though I know it is in that folder. Why has my file disappeared?
A:
Select *Show All Files Type from the Type of File pull-down menu.
Q: When printing my reports, the data does not fit properly on the page.
How do I keep the edges
from being cut off?
A:
Some printers need larger margins than others. In Preferences/General,
select the Page Setup On checkbox. Print your report again. When the Page
Setup Dialog Box appears, reduce the scaling to 95%. You may have to play
with this setting until you get it just right for your printer.
Q: I'd like to e-mail a report (my budget or my stripboard, for example)
to someone, but they do not have a copy of Gorilla. Is there a way to
do this?
A:
The best way to do this is to print the report to PDF and then send it
as an attachment. This feature is built-in to Macintosh OS X but can also
be done with Windows with Acrobat. Please check www.adobe.com for more
information on how to do this.
Q: When printing my stripboard (or any other scheduling report), the
shoot days do not correspond to the way they appear on the screen. How
do I make my printed reports match my data?
A:
Make sure you update the stripboard by clicking Update before printing.
For more information, see Updating the Stripboard.
