AC22 Library Update

Aaron Bourgoin

AC22 is telling me that my Library is not up to date. The download site lists a Library release dated January 2019.

Is there a new Library update with a wrong date or is it a glitch in the check for updates system?

David,

mine says 3003.2. that seems strange. we're working under AC build 6001.
Updating the Archicad build does not update the library.
The library update is a separate update.

On my installation, under License Information, the Library Build Number is 4030.57, and the Check for Updates... web link tells me my library is up to date. What does your License Information say?

The problem happens when You place the additional finishes package with its own xml file... the update page inspects all xml files that have the "update" info.... and in most cases the wrong xml is taken into account..and causes error...

(it took me some tim to figure it out - thankfully I had one computer where I did not put thos shaders into normal Archicad Lib)
