Updating Community lenses now that I've created a Lens Folder
I tried to update an existing Community lens this morning. After hitting Publish in Studio, I was prompted to 1. create an organization and 2. create a lens folder. After going through these steps, the flow led me to an empty folder.
My community lenses still exist, but I can't figure out how to update them.
Any ideas? I don't want to creating new codes/links for the lens because I'm pointing to the old one on a website and a scan code.
Thanks,
Andrew

Ah, yes! I must have been trying to upload during an update on the CMS. I see what you shared, @audun . Thanks a lot!

I take that back, @stevenxu - I had installed an older version of the app when opening a file created with an older version. When I reinstalled the new version, the issue returned.
Installing the latest and greatest, I can't update a community lens. I'm sent directly to this screen when I try to publish an effect.

I've also had this issue after updating to 4.22 and wanting to update a 4.19 community lens (with a Snapcode that was printed).
Since 4.22 using some features fall under "Lens Cloud".
So using a Custom Landmarker as example and that falling under Lens Cloud it activates lens folders. If you are using the "Camera Kit" feature there is a "legacy flow" available.
I've had some back and forth with support on this (letting them know that I was not pleased with them just enabling a "Beta" feature) but for me the only way to update the old way was to go back to LS 4.19. Luckily I was able to open my 4.22 project in 4.19 with minimal issues.This probably won't help you get rid of the issue but hopefully give you some insight on why this is happening.

Thanks, @Simonsaysnl . That was my guess.
I'm trying to reach support for a link to the 4.19 installer. I'll keep those old dmgs on standby from now on! I tried installing the latest update to see if that would help and now I can't reinstall 4.19 when trying to load a 4.19 file.
Thanks for confirming it's an issue!1 -
No problem, here is a link to a LS 4.19 dmg I've put on drive (copy from version that support send me)
Would indeed be nice if there was an official LS version archive from Snap

You need to update community lenses, when you've created a Lens Folder, simply drag and drop your existing lenses into the new folder. If your platform supports it, you might also have the option to right-click on a lens to add it to a folder. Remember to check for any platform-specific guidelines for organizing lenses in folders.
