AW: Externals are not loaded

[toolbook at kestner.de]

Hi Matthias,
thank you for bringing me on the right track. I forgot myself, that I
changed my computer since last using this and so my LC preference file
entries and my 3rd party externals were not in place.

BUT I am still struggling. I have on Win10 in my personal documents
folder/My LiveCode/Externals/ my 3rd party externals with the propper
externals.txt.
Now, LC 9.0.2 pics my 3rd party externals up and show them to me, when
asking for: "put the externalPackages of stack "home"
But LC 9.5.1 ignores my 3rd party externals. Shouldn't all LC 9 versions
read the same prefernces file and pick the same externals? Or has anything
changed in LC 9.5 with handling of externals?

Any idea?
Tiemo
