zoomer Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Is it only for me ? On Windows and M1 Mac. Is it because I use the same Workgroup Folder from both Systems. Or that I Batch converted my VW 2021 Workgroup Files to my VW 2022 Folder ? Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 Anyone else ? Looks like I have that now on VW 2021 too. Is it only for me ? Or are all Online Libraries still in update every hour ? Quote Link to comment
0 bjoerka Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 guess it´s only you. i have 2020, 21 and 22 installed and the resources update frequently but not at every start of vw. did you try to move one of your folders inside users-library-application support and then restart vw? maybe it depends to that or some broken prefs... there are also deeper prefs kept in root-library-preferences-vectorworksxxxx.plist delete this and try again. that solved some issues we had with some other phenomenons.

0 zoomer Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) When installing VW 2022 I chose to download all Libraries but moved them later into my Workgroup Folder on an external SSD. Will try if hiding root/library/preferences/vectorworksxxxx.plist will change anything ... Edited September 30, 2021 by zoomer Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 Unfortunately not much in there (root/library/preferences/vectorworksxxxx.plist) and unfortunately it doesn't change anything. It doesn't even create a new PLIST for me when starting. Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 Did try to hide anything VW Prefs in Global or User :/Library/ Container, Preferences, Application Support VW still updates Libraries with each start. But I am on Monterey Public Beta (8 now) AFAIK i have the same behavior on Windows, using the same Workgroup Drive. Quote Link to comment
0 bjoerka Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 did you move or copy the library to the external ssd? when you moved it, did you try to place an alias to the workgroup folder to point there? maybe vw isn´t able to recognize that the original place is moved somewhere else...

0 zoomer Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 I wanted to save local disc space. I expected that the Library dialog while first Installation of VW would save these in App Library Folders only. So I let it install Resources. Then I opened Finder for App Lib and Workgroup Lib Folders and dragged all Resources except the Default_Resource Files over to Workgroup on external SSD. 1 hour ago, bjoerka said: maybe vw isn´t able to recognize that the original place is moved somewhere else... Possibly. I thought that's what "Refresh Libraries" is for, which I did after starting VW. Thought I'ld be fine as my Workgroup Resources appeared in RM. Maybe I did move a necessary System Resource accidentally ? Should come back with a next SP installation ? But strangely I have the same behavior on Windows, where I only added the Workgroup Path. Will try a VW Updater Repair though. EDIT : Updater Repair + Update Library dialog OK + Refresh Libraries again, still asking for Resource Updates with each start. Quote Link to comment
0 bjoerka Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 hm. after asking is there something downloaded? did you check if your resource folder has got full rw access? otherwise - what happens if you place the original folderstructure again there without any content? Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 Yes, RW Access. Even when giving Full Disc Access. Have hidden nearly all VW Settings from User Library and let VW recreate. Still the Resource Update. Thought about blocking some unwanted IPs on Mac. But I do not block on windows. Will first look at Windows again, if VW works different in any way or not.

0 zoomer Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 I think it must be something in the Library Files itself. AFAIR when dragging the Library Files over to Workgroup Folder, there was a Warning that some files are watermarked, contain footprint or such things and would only work with special editions of VW or such. Maybe, by downloading ALL Libs, I may have accidentally downloaded some Spotlight-only Libs that I am not licensed to use with my VW Arch or such things .... 1 Quote Link to comment
Question
zoomer
Is it only for me ?
On Windows and M1 Mac.
Is it because I use the same Workgroup Folder from both Systems.
Or that I Batch converted my VW 2021 Workgroup Files to my VW 2022 Folder ?
