Hi Matthias, thank you for bringing me on the right track. I forgot myself, that I changed my computer since last using this and so my LC preference file entries and my 3rd party externals were not in place.
BUT I am still struggling. I have on Win10 in my personal documents folder/My LiveCode/Externals/ my 3rd party externals with the propper externals.txt. Now, LC 9.0.2 pics my 3rd party externals up and show them to me, when asking for: "put the externalPackages of stack "home" But LC 9.5.1 ignores my 3rd party externals. Shouldn't all LC 9 versions read the same prefernces file and pick the same externals? Or has anything changed in LC 9.5 with handling of externals? Any idea?
