Anyone any experience with Livecode under Ventura?

I forgot to mention that the part with the "multiple drives defined for Time Machine" is valid for all macOS versions, not just Ventura.

>>> I do both local and cloud backups. If you haven't set up Time Machine I highly recommend it. I have two backup drives on my Mac and Time Machine alternates backups between them. I never have to think about it, and it's saved me more times than I can count, especially when I save a stack and later find out I introduced problems. I just grab the last working copy and get back to work. When I travel, I put one of the drives in a safe place at home and take the other one with me, just in case. That came in handy once when I had to review a script to answer a client's question while I was out of town. SSD drives are just a little larger than a cigarette pack, inexpensive, and easy to carry.
