Has anybody using Wordfast Pro upgrade to MacOS Monterey? If so, have you had any issues?

I currently have the problem of not being able to clean finished files.
The button is there but no action for cleaning is taken.
Dunno why.

I'm not even aware of that function. Is it under a different name in the menu?

Well, once you're done with your project, you exit the project, right click on the file you want to clean (export) and you're presented with the option to Clean your file.
My problem is that some files can be cleaned and some not. Will investigate this further.

Does the Cleanup icon on the ribbon under Project Files not work?
When you use this feature, it will create target files for all bilingual files by default. To specify which target files you want to create, you need to choose Specific Language Pairs or Single Language Pair, then the language, then the file(s).

If you have a problem with certain files, it is likely because you changed their name or location at some point during the project. To fix this, close the project in Wordfast, then open the project.wf4 and project.wf4.sfc files in the project folder. Search for the file name and path and make sure they are the same as whatever the file is now called and wherever it might be located. Modify and save if necessary.

Hi John,
in the meantime I realized that cleanup does not work with older projects whereas with projects I create from scratch apparently there's no problem. So this could be due to the fact that I shifted all my WFP folders from my desktop to an external SSD, although the file names and paths seem to be ok. Anyway, I know now that WFP works with newly created projects.
