Safari web browser does not allow access to local files #167

When running CytoBrowser locally, the Safari web browser reports: "The server was not able to find any images in the data directory. Make sure it is populated and try again"

This happens since the Safari web browser by default does not allow access to local files.

To enable local access:

  1. Enable the Develop Menu (Preferences -> Advanced -> Show Develop menu in menu bar)
  2. From the Develop menu, select Disable Local File Restrictions

I hope this helps. :-)
