In Download/install resources, resources which have been recently updated (downloaded and installed) via this tool still show as update available. Has anyone else experienced this? Hard to know whether an update is actually available given that the flag doesn’t go away after “updating.”

Yes, this is a known issue. It’s caused by a mismatch between the language code in the DBL metadata and the language code defined in the DBL project data. Fixing it is on our (long) to-do list.

EDIT: Just to make sure it’s the same problem, can you tell us the short name of the resources with the problem?

It also seems to occur for any new resources I install.

My suggestion is to delete the resources that are not working correctly and download them fresh. You might want to check the c://My Paratext 8 Projects/_Resources folder to make sure that the associated .pz8 files have been removed after you delete the resources.

I tried that. I also uninstalled PT8, removed registry entries, and Program Files folder.

Has this been solved yet? I’m using version .83 and the problem still persists.

You kinda answered yourself, but I’ll give an official answer: Nope, it has not been fixed, yet.

Thanks. Just wanted to make sure that it wasn’t just me. As long as others have the same problem, I feel a little better. :grinning:
