Export Instance don't load resources

[artofnois]

After export instance of a panel an executing it, open the panel but not load resources (all image button, backgroud image, etc )
Must I do something to load it at startup or in the export time?

I had the same problem lately. Try this:

Menu: File -> Export -> Export compressed binary + resources

[atom]

I’m aware of the issue i just didn’t get the chance to work on that (it’s windows specific i think), i had some other stuff on my plate. I’ll get to that ASAP.

I use mac. Yosemite

[atom]

Can you send me an example panel with some resources, export it as a compressed panel with resources (not as an instance) and maybe attach it here so that i’ll know what’s failing ?

[artofnois]

How can I send you a private message?

[atom]

You can email me, the email is in the contacts information on this page

The export in MAc continue doing it wrong…
No images on export instance.
Please…

I think I finally figured out what was the problem with resources in exported instances : it happens when launching a new version of a panel that as already been used on a given Mac or PC. If the new version uses new resources, they don’t get copied to the temp app folder.

The solution is to remove the temp app folder, and launch the exported instance again, so that it gets a fresh new content (on Win : /AppData/Roaming/, on Mac /Library/Preferences/).

Not tested yet, but I think the definitive workaround would be to change the exported instance name with each new version (e.g. including version number in it).

I can maybe do a simple check to warn the user “This instance already has a resources directory, would you like to overwrite it?”

Maybe that will help.

[artofnois]

That works fredo. Deleting /Library/Preferences/Name_instance is the solution

OK, good !

Roman, if you can detect that a resource directory is already there on the *first* launch of a given instance, no need to warn the user, simply wipe out the dir and create a new one I would say.
