Importing new blocks does not work

[jhergeth]

I downloaded the current version of pibackery, followed the descriptions in http://www.pibakery.org/docs/contribute.html and tried to create a new block to install java on the raspberry. Importing my new block by drag/dropping it on pibakery does not work. I always get the "forbidden" mouse cursor and nothing happens:

Any suggestions?

With regards jhergeth

From your cursor, I presume you're running Windows - could I ask what version you're running?

I've actually already released a workaround for this - but I've neglected to update my docs - apologies about this! You can use the shortcut ctrl shift + to open a folder dialog chooser where you can select your block folder to import it that way.

Thanks for pointing this out to me.

Did the ctrl shift + shortcut work for you?

[jhergeth]

Yes!

Currently testing the new block (Oracle-JDK install)

Just for others who stumble across this thread - the reason drag-drop doesn't work on Windows is because Windows doesn't allow drag-drop between elevated and non-elevated programs. As PiBakery is elevated, but explorer is not, you can't drag between them.

Have a read of this Microsoft article for more information.

It seems that the lines:

    electronLocalshortcut.register(mainWindow, 'CommandOrControl+Shift+Plus', function()
    {
        mainWindow.webContents.send('testBlock');
    });

have been lost in the new version which supports also rasbian lite...

Thanks @jhergeth - not quite sure what happened there! I'll add it back in.
