Hey, While I was upgrading from Ignition 7.9 to 8.0 I ran into a problem with the project resources not being migrated from the internal database to the file system. The stack trace that comes with the error is ```auto INFO | jvm 1 | 2019/04/09 13:15:57 | I [c.i.i.g.p.r.ProjectRecordConverter] [20:15:57]: Writing 3 'sr.script.shared' resources to: data\projects\global\ignition\script-python\shared INFO | jvm 1 | 2019/04/09 13:15:57 | I [c.i.i.g.p.r.ProjectRecordConverter] [20:15:57]: #1.

Thanks for reporting this, we’ll get it fixed for 8.0.1. The resources will be automatically renamed, unfortunately, which may require updates elsewhere in the projects. ---
