First Post!
I haven't gotten to downloading the editor yet, mainly due to downloading issues with Adobe AIR. I'll try downloading it again. I am really excited to try it out!

Thanks for the update! Keep up the good work!

EDIT: Still not downloading correctly. I use a 2002 Windows XP netbook….

Scratch 2.0 Offline Editor
Sorry, an error has occurred.

The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author.

Can you try using the “Optional Download” method? (You can find it on that same scratch2download page.

why do you need adobe air installer why cant it just be normal like 1.4 installer

The Issue scratchers had when opening and saving files, is it the issue where it happens like this:
1)Click on save…
2)save complete
3)open new file
4)file opened successfully!
5)10 minuets later…click save…
6)save complete!
7)open the file that was first open
8)…PROJECT DID NOT LOAD?
9)repeat #7 10 times and still get #8

Is it that one? If not then there is that issue up there

After the update I'm not able to import any experimental extension. I mean, the blocks described in the json file are there but the socket communication can't be established. On the other hand, this works fine for the online version.

I'm using the offline editor in a Mac OSX 10.8.4

I haven't been able to update the offline editor on my computer. I will update it when my mum buys more Internet data.
Extensions work fine for me in the old offline editor on OS X 10.8.3. You're running the extension as root user aren't you?

by “saving and opening”, does that mean we will be able to save projects worked on in the online editor and they will not be corrupted? i find that to be the problem.

I think installing using the System's Administrastor account and re-installing AIR might resolve the problem.


To enable the Administrator account log in as a user-created admin account and run the Command Prompt as Administrator
Here is the command to enable “Administrator” -
net user Administrator /active:yes

That should do it.

It should also work on 64-bit machines

Thank you for this! Works like a charm. Also, someone should really make a bash scrip for that.

Woohoo

I just developed a complete new project in the offline editor and then uploaded it (http://scratch.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/projects/12493384/). It worked! Three issues that I discovered are the following.

1. When I locally edited my project and then reuploaded it, the updated project didn't replace the contents of the original project as I would have expected (and as it was with 1.4); instead, I got a new project under exactly the same name.

2. A project uploaded from the offline editor gets automatically shared; I'd prefer if it was unshared by default, but I understand that this can be achieved by uploading the project from my computer on the website.

3. The most serious issue: after uploading the project that I had developed in the offline editor, I was trying to edit it on the website. Immediately after merely touching a block, I saw the message “loading assets” that I normally see when I upload a fresh project for the first time. After that, the project took very long to save (I was seeing “Saving….”for quite a while). It looks to me as if uploading from the offline editor is putting the project into some intermediate storage from where it is only moved to the main storage upon an update made on the website. The worst was that during this move (or whatever happened at that point), the project lost a costume that I had to restore manually later.

IS IT VIRUS FREE??
