Fix for icloud synced Documents folder paths if you've upgraded to Sequoia

Post by seethings »

Since moving to Sequoia, the path for the Resolume Arena and Resolume Wire folders in the Documents folder if set up to sync to iCloud has been changed.

Symptoms:
Opening composition files show many broken links to patches
Wire Effects headers are Red with message that says Could not find Wire Effect.

It is now:

~/Documents/Resolume Wire -> /Users/username/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Documents/Resolume Wire

~/Documents/Resolume Arena -> /Users/username/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Documents/Resolume Arena

Solution:
I set up symlinks to reconnect the broken links that occurred when that change was made and now my compositions, sources, patches are working again.


Delete the folders in your Documents - Local (Ensure important files are not within first)
IN Terminal app run these commands below. Replace 'username' with your username)

For Wire:
ln -s "/Users/username/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Documents/Resolume Wire" ~/Documents/Resolume\ Wire

For Arena:
ln -s "/Users/username/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Documents/Resolume Arena" ~/Documents/Resolume\ Arena

Afterwards, the location where your Resolume Apps looks for files (/Users/user/Documents)will look like this: The two Symlinks to the versions of the ones on your iCloud synced folder will have little arrows on bottom left corner.

This fix applies to using Resolume Arena 7.22.9 rev47596 23 May 2025. Hoping that in the future Resolume devs allow users to choose the location of their related files for Documents folder.
