Libronix Updater not Working Right

Yesterday, I updated a few Libronix resources via Libronix Updater. It showed that the resources were updated and no longer on the list.

Today, I ran it again and found many more resources needed updating, e.g. all the volumes of the Pulpit Commentary. I checked the resources to be updated, they downloaded and I closed the updater. I thought I would run it again and when it checked, it had the same list of books to update. I looked at the files in the Resources folder and those I updated were "created" today.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Joan ... I can't speak to a recent problem. But the pattern you're mentioning has been mine for several years now. I've never understood why. I'd of been happy with a utility program that scanned my resource directory, scanned the FTP site and downloaded the difference. But apparently that's never been in the cards.

So I literally run several Libronix scripts, each one finding 'some more'. Maybe the situation has gotten worse, per your note.

Yes, I do what you do to find more. What puzzles me is I have never had the list stay the same when the resources actually updated correctly; in a sense, it is a happy [:)] kind of problem because the resources are downloading.

The script to update resources is http://www.logos.com/media/update/ResourceAutoUpdate.lbxupd

I assume that's what you've been doing. After updating you need to shutdown/restart Libronix, or (if Logos was not running) start Libronix, and let it finish its start-up routine.

(EDIT: This is necessary because the update script does not look at your resource folder(s). It looks at the library database that Libronix creates/updates on start-up.)

Other important update scripts are:

Update to latest version of LDLS (3.0g)

Update LDLS Addins
http://www.logos.com/media/update/LogosAddinsAutoUpdate.lbxupd

Update LDLS DataFile types
http://www.logos.com/media/update/DataFilesAutoUpdate.lbxupd

Something in the back of my mind says that for some updates Libronix needs to be restarted twice, but I can't remember the circumstances for which that's necessary.

Yep. This worked for me. Thanks, Rich!
