BORIS for students with old computer OS's

[bfranks80]

Hello,

I am teaching an animal behavior course and would like to have the students collect data using BORIS. Several of them are not able to open BORIS on their laptops, however. We have tried adjusting the "security & privacy" settings in the system preferences, but it hasn't worked in all cases. It seems to have something to do with having an older OS (eg, 10.15) on Macs. Is this a known issue?

One student who was having this problem was able to get around it by installing an older version of BORIS, but I am worried this will create incompatibility issues with the shared project design.

Any suggestions or directions are appreciated.

Thank you,

Hello, It should be very useful to known the versions you have tried. O

Thank you very much for the quick reply! We are mainly using the current version (v7.10.2), but some students can only get older versions to open, eg v5.0.1. Thanks again for your attention. On Sun, Feb 14, 2021 at 12:39 PM Olivier Friard <[email protected]> wrote:

Hello, 5.0.1 is very old now and my advice is to not use it. You should have to accept the use of the program twice or more in the "security & privacy" settings because BORIS embed ffmpeg that requires authorization too. o -- University of Torino Life Sciences and Systems Biology department Via dell'Accademia Albertina, 13 10123 TORINO (Italy) tel: +39 011 6704542 http://penelope.unito.it/friard/ http://orcid.org/0000-0002-0374-9872

hi,
the last versions of BORIS run on a Raspberry Pi computer (a low-cost computer that plugs into a TV or a computer monitor).
See http://www.boris.unito.it/pages/raspberry_pi_4.html for details
