Default Resource Path

I have set my Resource Path to Z:\Dropbox\XP Files on Mac\Libronix\Resources. This is the only path that shows in the "Paths:" box. Whenever I run the Libronix update it ignores what I have defined for the default resource path, creates a new resource path: C:\Program Files\Libronix DLS\Resources, and puts the updates in the newly created path. Then I have to copy everything over to my default resource path, delete the path Logos created, refresh resources, close out of Logos and restart so it recognizes the updates/new resources. I can see where Logos would get confused if both paths existed prior to the update, but that isn't the case in this instance. Is there a setting I'm missing so that any updates will go to my defined resource path or is Logos incapable of recognizing changes to the Resource Path? Thanks.

You might as well leave the default resources path, because Logos will recreate it each time you upgrade. It will always put the upgraded resources in the folder in Windows. As you noted, you can then move them to the Mac folder. This is an inconvenience we will have to endure until Logos provides an update feature in the Mac version.

First the disclaimer: In regard to the MAC, I'm Sgt. Schultz -- "I know nothing." Once years ago I was asked to do a project on a MAC and made an utter mess of it since I simply treated it as a PC. Ever since I don't want to be within 10 ft of a MAC. That was embarassing.

On the PC you can substitute one drive designation for another (at least, you used to could-a). You might try substituting your desired location for the Logos prescribed location in your OS.

Just to clarify...both paths that I mentioned are in Windows XP. I'm changing the default path in Logos for Windows from "C:\Program Files\Libronix DLS\Resources" to "Z:\Dropbox\XP Files on Mac\Libronix\Resources." I then delete C:\Program Files\Libronix DLS\Resources from the Paths box after I've moved the resources to the new default path and choose Refresh Resources. Everything runs fine except for the fact that Logos for Windows fails to treat the new default path as the default for any Libronix updates on my PC. Not a huge deal, just an inconvenience which seems like it should be easily correctable. Probably would make more sense for the program to not allow for the change of the default resource path to begin with if it's not going to recognize the change for updates.

Despite the update "glitch" Libronix still fetches resources from all paths named in the "Resource Paths" dialog in Options, including the default path. Leave the default path there as Libronix also uses it for the Help files. But I ensure that my path is listed first! I don't use any of the Libronix Updates for Resources as I have a reliable FTP program that puts them in my location!
