First and simplest, if you're the only user that will be using Express Scribe on your machine then make sure that before you use the application that the /Users/Shared/Scribe directory is removed (you may need admin permissions to do this, if the directory was created by that user already!). For example, my partner, who I'd installed the application for, couldn't open files in Express Scribe at all.
But if you're a user of the Mac and the administrator has installed the application for you then it's possible that you won't have the correct file permissions to read or write to the Shared directory. If you're the administrator of your mac or there's only one user on your system then you probably won't run into some of the issues that have been discussed in these forums. This directory contains three additional directories Done, Status and Current and will contain a number of other files associated with preferences and configuration of the application. On first use by any user Express Scribe creates a directory in your apple Shared area of the filesystem (/Users/Shared/Scribe). I don't think that this is very well documented for the Mac and may be a source of a number of peoples file opening problems.
