Resources not found

What is the "Resources" button supposed to do? I've re-downloaded and reinstalled LiveCode 5.02, but still nothing happens when I click the "Resources" button. The re-installation did fix the application browser that had all the objects in the LiveCode GUI listed in the left hand column. There is no longer an option for that in the preferences. How can a preference option appear then disappear in the same version number?

I've asked support@runrev.com, and was asked to send a picture of what Resources button I was talking about. Got no answer. It is that "Resources" button between the "Tutorials" and "Dictionary". Last week, right before the webinar, it worked for the first time, once, and on that page was the script to resize fonts. It does not work anymore. Can't find that anywhere now. What do you see when you click the "Resources" Button?

Support doesn't work on the weekends, so if you just sent your reply give them a couple of days.

When I click the Resources button in the toolbar I see the RR Resources stack, which contains various sample scripts and sample projects. You can open it manually if you need to. It is stored in the LiveCode program folder (Windows) or inside the application bundle (Mac) in: Tools/Toolset/revresourcecenter.rev.

If you do not see that file, that is why nothing opens. If you do see it and it still will not open, file permissions may be wrong. On a Mac you can run Disk Utility to repair permissions. On Windows make sure the file is at least readable and read-write is better.

There it is! It was a stackInUse, and "set the loc of stack "revResourceCenter" to the screenloc" made it visible. Left my second monitor at my last job site, expecting to get back there. How humbling. Thank you.

Good sleuthing. I guess my advice should have been: delete your preferences file. That usually fixes things like this, and I should have thought of it. Glad you're back in business.
