Bug? library version taken from the wrong folder?

[leitor79]

Hi,

I'm getting some issues with a library, so I tried to "downgrade" it to a previous version. In spite of replacing the files, the libraries tab shows me the same version after the "refresh", closing and opening b4a again, deselecting and reselecting the library, etc.

My personal library folder is not on the default location, but the default library folder is kept at <b4ainstallationfolder>/libraries. I was replacing the library on my custom folder, as defined in tools -> paths configuration -> additional libraries. Then I tried to replace the library files in the default library folder, and the version is shown correctly now.

I don't know if this is a bug, or if I have the same library in the two folders, the "default folder" is took before the custom one.

Regards!

This is the correct behavior. The internal libraries folder has higher priority.

You should avoid having libraries in two folders.
Use the default libraries folder "as is" with only the libraries installed by B4A. Place all third party libraries in the additional libraries folder.
With one exception: if Erel puts a library in the forum as replacement for a standard B4A library then overwrite the lib in the default folder.
