nibbo Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 28, 2022 #1 Why are these so hard to find and download? Unfortunately I had to wipe my PC and start again with a fresh install of B4A. All downloaded and up and running within an hour no problem. Now, all of my previously downloaded libraries have obviously gone and getting them back is a real faff! The logs section shows me all of the missing libraries which is helpful so why cant the Libraries Manager be used to download the them?

Because there is no central server where everyone can upload and manage their libraries. The IDE knows only for the online registered libs. in which thread you can download them. But you're right, it would be useful to be able to open the libraries that are missing from the IDE using the online database link to download them, that would make the search easier and faster.

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 29, 2022 #5 I was talking about the online versions in the IDE: If you are using a library without an "online version" then it is likely an unmaintained library for several years now, and it is better to look for alternatives.

He said why the IDE can not download the libraries automatically, then there must be a central server where they are located, where the IDE can get them.

The only case where it is difficult to find a library is if the library has been moved to the libraries archive. In any other cases it shouldn't take more than 30 seconds.

Next time I'd suggest doing what I do and put all of your libraries and class modules into a folder in your Google Drive.
