Re: Lost Scripts' Shapes Window (**New** BETA 4 PE+) for Moho 14.3+ Pro

By 'multiple Scripts folders, I mean I created are separate Content folders, and Moho should be reading only from the chosen Content folder.

Normally, I keep one 'default' content (native-only,) and one 'custom' content (third-party added,) and I may switch between them when troubleshooting. In this case, I made one extra content folder with Shapes Window version 3.x, not 4.x. This allows me to compare performance between the two versions by switching Content folders. While it shouldn't matter, I haven't actually switched between these two yet.

But I'll check everything before deleting anything, to be sure I don't have multiple 'duplicate' files within the current custom content folder.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Hi Rai,

Mystery solved! I finally got around to sorting this out, and you were right: I found two copies of the menu script installed.

What happened was that I normally place third-party menu scripts inside a sub-folder named after its developer, within a Custom menu folder...(yes, I know that's weird, but I like to categorize Menu scripts by developer, not function,)...and when I updated the script, I forgot that Shapes Window comes with its own custom menu folder called - Lost Scripts. When I brought over the Shapes Window folders, I mistakenly thought I was overwriting the old Menu script, and I ended up with two versions. Based on my screenshot, Moho was clearly running the old version. :roll:

I expect to use Shapes Window a lot in my current project, and now that I'm actually using version 0.4.2, I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks again for your help!

BTW, I'm using the - Lost Scripts Menu folder as intended. Don't want to risk making that error again. :P

Cool! That was the most probable cause in base of what you showed. So we are now "aligned" and I hope everything goes smoother from now on, but feel free to let me know whatever you could find, because it's expected I'll start having some more time in a week or so... Thank you so much for continue using and testing/stressing the tool!
