View Full Version : String resource problem in 1180 redux: Resource Group destroyed

Friedrich,

Using the problematic script from "String resource problem in 1180", I
decided to try and move on and get some work done. I copied the script and
used "Refresh String Resources". I inferred from its message I'd have a bit
of a mess to clean up, but didn't expect the behavior that resulted.

After the refresh, a resource group I create in all the scripts, "RSC Text
Data", had its contents removed and replaced with Clarion related install
strings. See sb5.1180.str.resources.png.

I deleted the Clarion garbage and recreated the 26 strings I need for the
install. The result after a compile is in sb5.1180.str.resources.2.png. If
that result isn't obvious, it trashed "RSC Text Data".

This destructive behavior is a real PITA.

Mark,

Thank you for the report. I'll try to reproduce this.

BTW, a "refresh" always removes all your modifications.

Thanks,
Friedrich

Mark,

Fixed now. This was only a "display list" problem. If you select, say, the
"Billboards" view and then go back to "Text and Messages" then your "RSC
Text Data" is completely gone and does not show the Clarion resources.

BTW, to update string resources please use the "Update String Resources"
function.

Friedrich,

I had tried "Update String Resources", but still had the dialog behavior.
