I'm trying to collaborate with with a colleague on a Gate app. He uses a Mac, while I am on Windows. We are both on Gate 8.5.1. He has uploaded the current project to a Bitbucket.org account.

My method is to download the entire folder from - https://bitbucket.org/our username/our project name/downloads/ - save it across to my Gate folder in Program Files, and then open the GAPP file. This opens GATE, but with none of the configuration (Gazzateers, JAPE rules etc), just a standard unmodified version of GATE. 

I'm not sure if the File paths which he has chosen are not mapping across to my system, or there is some other element of his set it up which is different. 

Is there an easy way to drag and drop a configured Gate application from one operating system (OSX) to the another (Windows)?

Thanks

It sounds like you are opening the gapp file which in turn opens GATE. This suggests to me that the gapp and xgapp extensions have been associated with GATE somehow, but there is no code in GATE for handling apps based in via Windows like this.

What you need to do is to open GATE and then load the application; right click on applications in the left hand tree and then choose restore application from file. This should allow you to then choose the gapp file your colleague created which should then load as expected.

There is also no need to put the files from your colleague inside your GATE folder under Program Files. Feel free to store them somewhere more logical along with other documents etc. (I know that writing files into Program Files can involve a few issues under windows with the way it tries to protect against malware etc.)
