Asset Library Doesn't Update on Dev Server

1421179505

Edited 1421179850
Summary When I use the Dev Server, I am drawing from the same asset library as the rest of my account. So if I upload new assets to a map on the dev server, I expect to see those assets in my library both on the Dev Server and in Production. However, when I load new assets on the Dev Server by dragging and dropping onto the map, they do not appear at all in my library--although they are still on the map and usable. Steps to Recreate 1) Log in to a campaign on the Dev Server 2) Create a token by dragging a file onto the map.* 3) After the token is created, go to Your Art Library *This bug does not occur if you add an asset directly using the Upload function in the library while on the Dev Server. Expected Result The asset you just loaded to the map should appear in your asset library. Actual Result The asset does not appear in your asset library. Notes The asset library works if you load images in a Production campaign and later copy it to Dev, but whenever you create tokens by dragging onto the map in Dev, you only get that token--the image does not go into your Library and is not visible either in Dev or Prod. In addition, it looks like the asset library works if you pull it up on Dev and directly upload using that menu. This bug only pops up if you add assets by dragging them directly onto a map, and it only occurs on Dev. The Expected = Actual in Prod.

Hi Dylan. I brought this up on the Mentors Forum and basically you should upload via the Production/main server. Pat S. said: Developers server can see dev art library and Main art library Production server can see Main art library. Production server is not suppose to see anything from the Dev server side unless the codes are being put into sync. Recommended use Main art library if you want to be sure to keep your art. Use Dev art library if you don't mind an occasional art piece lost sometimes. This is how it was explained to me.
I modified the Wiki to hopefully further clarify this: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Dev_Server" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Dev_Server</a>
Thank you Vince & Riley!

Thanks Riley. Dylan, I've been using the upload image feature on the Dev without issue. You just need to adjust your design flow to accommodate for the drag-images-to-Dev "quirk". Game on.
