Oh, okay - got you.
So it leaves the old code in place in red, to show you what was there previously. Righto.
That's a bit of a pain though. I've got to search for each red line in my file (of course it won't be red in the script editor), check that it is indeed the right line. Go back to github each time, copy each corresponding green line underneath, switch back into OXT script editor, and paste over each line in my version (assuming they are in the same place, which they might not be if I've got any differences above that... so I can't simply rely on looking at line numbers for the changes)

Repeat for however many lines that seem to have changed, and hope I don't miss anything?
Bit of a headache.

Why would it not just say (changed lines x to x), or even better - use my handler [name] in this file, and paste over your old handler.

I suppose I can probably automate that with some unknown-to-me github command if I downloaded git to my machine, but I frankly don't want to. I don't want to pull the entire repository over - I just want one file after all, not GB's of information for what should be a few lines of changed code?
Plus, won't that risk wiping out all of my other changes completely in the rest of the OXT lite files?

Or will it do something equally stupid and try and mark all my oxt-lite changes as commits to your RCx version?

Don't think I'll risk it, in case it messes up your files and mine to be honest.
This is the reason I've always avoided git and the git command line, for fear of it doing something drastically terrible.

OK, OK; it's Saturday afternoon, not the morning, I'm a slob, whatever.

Currently copying a 'fresh' version of OXTL 101 into my 'xTalk' folder . . .

So, while I was waiting started "pissing around on the internet", AND:

OK: ran the update and it appeared to 'take', but this:

suggests otherwise.

Hi Richmond,
I did mention about how to switch to the bash shell in an earlier post (reassuringly, my command was the same as the one you found on the internet).

You ran the update without error I'd assume, which is great.
However, what build version does it show you are at now?
(there are two updates to do - but I don't know if that was missed).

Don't know if I'll get a chance (although I'll certainly try), to get 1.02 ready (because of this) with these fixes in place.

Tiddly-pom, tiddly-pom, is that 32 characters?

Aha! - yeah, that explains why your "save as" still isn't working. Only part 1 of a part 2 update.
Please see the bottom of this post earlier.

However, 1.02 is being uploaded...... slowly.... now.
(Don't know why the site was down earlier) Very strange

1.02 is uploaded on the Mega link now. The dropbox one is.... still spinning around uploading.
(I've also updated the downloads page). The point of that huge download? - just so it incorporates those changes in the auto-update, so any extra eyes on OXT Lite won't have the two recent issues we found.

huge download

better to be fat than so thin that everyone can see your bones.

Downloaded the thing, and it will be the communion cup at my Sunday service tomorrow.
