Installation Instructions
Download the zip file then extract it. The resulting folder will contain the program and a READ ME containing the information outlined below.
In case of an error when downloading onto Mac/OS:
Error message reading “FMC Gallery Planner can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software”, you can either use our web version, or press OK, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down until you find a section with a button that says “Open Anyway”. You may have to enter your password.
Save files made using the downloadable version are stored under:
Mac: ~\Users\UserName\Library\Application Support\Factory Media Centre\FMC Gallery Planner\Saves
Windows: C:\Users\AppData\LocalLow\Factory Media Centre\FMC Gallery Planner\Saves
(Sometimes instead of “Factory Media Centre” the folder might be named “com.Factory-Media-Centre.FMC-GalleryPlanner”)
In order for save files to be made, you may have to allow file access to the planner app.
Known Issues
- (Only in downloadable version) The program might freeze when switching between fullscreen and windowed, and vice versa.
Solution: Either wait some time for the program to load or close the program. - (Only on browser version) The walls might flicker rapidly when looking around.
Solution: None currently. This issue does not occur in the downloadable version. - The prints tend to go through the walls when placed.
Solution: Be very slow when placing the prints against the walls. If done slowly, they should properly stick on. - Loading a save file may not work on Windows.
Solution: Unfortunately, none currently. As the program was developed on Mac, it may struggle in some ways when running on a Windows computer.
