Hello, I posted a question last Friday in the Official Announcements forum, but I guess it got buried because of other additions into the same forum. Would it be possible to get an answer to that question? Here is the link:

Thank you!

OK, I found something interesting. Not sure if it is a bug, or expected behavior for the App Manager. I used to be able to edit the puzzles and save them without problems before updating Verge3D. However, since I updated to 3.2 pre 2 (and now pre 3), I wasn’t able to save my puzzles without getting that weird error message. My apps were in a different folder than the default Verge3D applications, and even in a different drive on the same computer.

So I decided to start from scratch today. Remove blender and Verge3D, install latest versions for both. And then I removed all my apps from the external folder, and re-created one of them with the App Manager, on the same external folder, and using the exact same name. After that I copied over the files from my original external app. And now I can save the puzzles again.

So, not sure if the App Manager expects you to create the apps with it for it to work correctly, or there was some a file missing on my previous application, but doing it this way brought the old functionality back.

Another thing I noticed is that when you work with more than one external folder (as mentioned in another post, I have my applications inside WordPress setups, so I need them work on them by editing the App Manager settings every time), you must be sure to close all your App Manager instances AND any blender instances before starting to work, or you may get 404 error messages when switching from an external app on a folder to another external app in a different folder.

Back a pre version or two, the default install folder had changed from just verge 3d to Verge 3d / blender or verge 3d/3dsmax ,Maya etc, so you can have more than one port of the product installed. (If you use more than one )…

Just uninstall

Then reinstall and when you get the prompt, erase the port version, ie, blender, Maya etc..

When I installed the next update I prayed attention to that, and it remembered I did that.

Or just let it reside in verge/blender i to avoid future issues like this.

Hi GlifTek,

yes, I had done that before, but it did not work until I re-created the apps from scratch and pasted the old files on top of the newly created ones. The backup files for the visual logic now go into a different folder structure, so that may also have something to do with this.

Thank you.
