Two issues with latest version of JW Library

Huh?

In computer coding to make programs and apps function at the base level in the hardware systems, you have to talk to the machine in "binary" language.  Each tiny bit of electrical impulses in the coding is called a bit.  Generally, codes are written in 8-bit formats that are called a "byte".  Sometimes a short piece of code is only half as long. So 4-bits became a "nibble" (instead of a byte).  It is old-coders humor.

 

As a note: Binary language only has two different states.  We often refer to them as 1 or 0 (zero).  This means the electrical signal is turned 'on' or 'off', energized or de-energized. So binary code looks like....  10010100.  This has a specific meaning or number attached to it.  The computer will read that and look up what it is supposed to do.  So 8-bits are a byte and 4-bits are a nibble.

I'm having that one too! I forgot. So it's three issues.

One of my Android devices (new with 8.1 OS) started having a problem yesterday. I click on the app, the purple square comes up on the white background and that is it.  It just sits there until I get a system message that the app has quit working.  My older Android phone (with version 6.1) works fine.

My phone is 8.0.0. My tablet has 8.1.0 and both of them are having the same issues.

I just finalized the test of the issue and happy to report that Down Under all works good without any issues.

New update to JW Library resolves these issues.😁

Yes, it was a different issue. Good that you could work it out by reinstalling.

I deleted and reinstalled. Fixed my Toolbox problem, but not the media 'update' issue.
I'm running Android 9
PS. Reminder to those who wish to reinstall - Backup your personal notes and gems BEFORE you proceed.

I didn't have notes or anything saved on my phone.  It is running Android 8.1 but the reinstall works fine.  It is a long process reloading the material into the app.  Wee very slow internet connection out here in the rural areas.

Yes, it does take time and data to reload the library components.
In the last year or two since my last reinstall, I had slowly (over time) downloaded many, many mp4's.
I am unable to recall what I even had. All the monthly BC programs, special book 'plug-ins', graduations etc - all now gone.
It's a pity that the reinstall does not 'look' for the old folder and pick them up. That would make a great difference to the data and time used to reload.

I know we can restore our material with notes and so on.  It would be nice if we had the opportunity to just "back-up" all of our app selections.  then we could reinstall the app and just "restore" the backed up publications and media.  It might take a little time to complete but it sure would beat loading one book or movie at a time.

Running JW Lib app on my Android phone, it seems most of the issues have settled, except for 1 little problem.... I cannot make my song book a 'favorite'...
I go through the process, but it doesn't move.
I have deleted and reloaded the publication.
Anyone else having this issue?
Or just me...
