Bug in Mac Version Graphical Interface (Bug #498)

Hello,

First I want to thank you for developing this mindbogglingly useful software! It will save me tons of drudge work and limit the opportunity for cheating in my exams for ~ 100 students. Great service!

I have a MacBook OS 10.10.5, and installed Xquartz, Xcode, Macports, and finally AMC "\version{AMC 1.2.1 svn:1403 with style $Revision: 431 $}". I had PDFLatex preinstalled. Everthing worked great for the first test, until I reached the button "Code Name for Automatic Association", which did not produce a dropdown menu. My *.csv file, linking the student ID's to their names is OK: I can see the column headers in the dropdown menu for the button "Primary key from this list". The student ID's are also scanned correctly, as I verified with the "Look at Marks" button.

I did notice however that the file "options.xml" does not list the student association code, "<assoc_code></assoc_code>", nothing in the middle. When I enter "pantherid" (my code) there manually nothing changes. In the LaTex source code I have the commands "\AMCformBegin" and "\AMCcodeH{pantherid}{9}" in that order.

My problem seems identical to bug # 103, listed on the forum, which was resolved over five years ago.

Should I just upgrade to AMC version 1.3.0 for Mac? Or can this be resolved in version 1.2.1?

Thanks again
