8.4 Beta 1 bug? - "Resources ready to be added to your library"

The notification "Resources ready to be added to your library - Updates will be added when the application is restarted" won't go away.

I've restarted several times, and here is the log from the last restart:

8.4 Beta 1, version 8.4.0.0007 on Mac OS X 10.14.3

I had a similar problem ...

Hey Todd,

I don't know if it is the same issue or not, but I had a notification that would not go away. I had purchased a book that had apparently not downloaded. I went to the library and sorted for resources marked as "not on any device". There sat the book I had purchased. When I clicked on it it gave me the option to download. After indexing was complete, the notification went away.

Again, I don't know if that is what you are seeing.

Thanks Fred. I can see the resource by doing that, but the download button doesn't seem to do anything. Also the right click menu on the library has "Cancel download" but it didn't do anything either.

So I tried hiding the resource, and that got rid of the notification. Then I unhid it, and it downloaded.

Everything seems fine now. Restarted a couple times to be sure. Still, it seems like something wasn't working right. I shouldn't have to do that.

For Todd, that notification occurs when resources are downloaded, but they cannot replace the current library versions without a restart. Do you have Auto Download Updates = YES?

I think a new resource might go to "Not on this device" when Auto Download New Resources = NO, but it should be downloaded when you OK the notification (without having to go to Library). I haven't been able to test this, nor the scenario when both new and updated resources download together.

The Cloud resources feature still isn't "right", and some its problems are serious.

Yes I do.

I think it's a new resource for me. It's marked temporary, and it's one of this month's Verbum Now resources.

This is incorrect. When a new resource is detected, it will either be marked as a cloud resource or a local resource based on the "Auto Download New Resources" setting. It will not be downloaded unless you go to the library and tell it to download.

Thanks, Andrew. We might have covered this before, so it shows the importance of documenting the new concepts and new behaviour. So:

Automatically Download New Resources

YES = treat as Local and download
NO = treat as Cloud, download from Library or Resource preview. However, the lack of any Notification is disconcerting
Change wording in Settings to reflect this
However, there is a disturbing issue when switching from NO to YES, which I will document separately.

Automatically Download Updates

YES/NO behaviour as previously?. These are Local resources.
