Twine 2.1.0b1: Cannot Update/Delete Story Format #275

Closed klembot closed 6 years ago

klembot commented 8 years ago

Originally reported by: Ngurah Bagus (Bitbucket: storymasterq, GitHub: storymasterq)

I've added SugarCube 2 Offline 2.8.0, and now that 2.10.0 is out, I want to add it, but I can't since the name is the same [SugarCube 2 (local/offline)].

I tried to delete the old version, but the trashcan icon does nothing and return no error message.

I ended up changing the title in format.js so it'll add into the Formats list.

Perhaps it should have a prompt about whether or not I want to update a format with the same name, or at least have the delete function work :grinning:

I see the commit 9bbf6a3 about story format, but I'm not sure it's related to this bug.

Alright, that worked.

Unfortunately, I unzipped the ZIP download into its own folder, sugarcube-2.8.0-for-twine-2-local, and added the SugarCube-2 folder inside that.

Being unable to delete this reference, I had to copy the new SugarCube-2 folder, containing SugarCube 2.10.0 into a folder called SugarCube 2.8.0. Now that's a misnomer :laughing:

The files will be wherever you placed them. Installation is a bit of a misnomer, Twine 2 only references the files located at the path you gave it when you manually add a story format—it does not make copies of the files or perform any kind of traditional installation.

copy the files of the new version over the files of your old installation

Oh, I wanted to do that too, but I couldn't be bothered to try finding out where the format.js file should be copied to for Twine 2. I did a cursory look, but I only found the targets folder for Twine 1.

Due to the way Twine 2 works, you're really better off not doing that.

In this case, you also do not have to. While not a fix for this bug, you may simply copy the files of the new version over the files of your old installation. I do that myself when testing new builds of SugarCube.
