Thanks again for your reply Votan.
The original author had a file called LibAddonMenu-2.0.lua, LibMediaProvider-1.0.lua and LibStub.lua. The game did not like it when I changed all 3 to current folder/directory based info, since an error message never went away. Originally thought I could change the default paths for these 3 in the main MyStatusWindow.lua under 'local' , but I'm probably trying to do too much at once.
/lib/LibAddonMenu-2.0/LibAddonMenu-2.0.lua
/lib/LibMediaProvider-1.0/LibMediaProvider-1.0.lua
/lib/LibStub/LibStub.lua
When I only replaced the LibAddonMenu-2.0.lua file
/lib/LibAddonMenu-2.0/LibAddonMenu-2.0.lua
I get the following new error:
user:/AddOns/MyStatusWindow/settings.lua:1: Cannot find a library instance of "LibAddonMenu-2.0".
stack traceback:
user:/AddOns/MyStatusWindow/Lib/LibStub.lua:27: in function 'LibStub:GetLibrary'
user:/AddOns/MyStatusWindow/settings.lua:1: in function '(main chunk)'
Thanks for any tips.
Edit: Oh I see now there is a addon called LibAddonMenu , so I'll give it a try.
