Desktop tools for offline project sync, project lookups, screen capture,
and client markup links. Windows only.
Setting it up
- Unzip it to
C:\Waystone, then run
Waystone.exe from there. Not inside the zip, and not in
Downloads, where it might get cleared. Not on the Desktop or in Documents
either — OneDrive syncs those and locks files while it does, which breaks
updates — and not in Program Files, where every update would need an
administrator.
- Open Settings (the gear at the bottom of the left rail) and find
Waystone sign-in, under Connections. Enter the name and password
you were given in Sign in as and Password, then press
Save — if you weren't given them, ask whoever sent you this
link — and check the drive letter matches the one your project drive is
mapped to.
- Press Check Connections. It tells you in one place whether
Waystone can reach everything it needs, rather than you finding out tool by tool.
That's everything. Waystone checks for new versions itself: when one is ready,
the version number in the bottom-right corner says so, and
Settings → Updates → Install and Restart installs it. This is the
last time you need to come here.
Already have 0.6.2 or older? Its update button can stop with
“Permission denied”. Close Waystone (the tray icon too), download the zip
above and unzip it over your existing Waystone folder, choosing
Replace all. Your settings and sign-in stay as they were, and updates
work from the app again after that.
Windows will probably warn you. Waystone isn't code-signed, so
SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC”. Click More info, then
Run anyway. That warning means the file is unrecognised, not that
anything is wrong with it.
