1.4 - Resources in same window, not frame - global revert to previous default?

1.4 - Resources in same window, not frame - global revert to previous default?

After 1.4 upgrade, all existing resources now seem to have the 'same window' box checked but not the frame option.

This leads to different behaviour from 1.3 by default, rather than as a result of our decision to change each resource.

Can lead to unexpected results, and removes breadcrumb should users want to save the resource locally. (We block drive C which is where IE seems to want to save when not in a frame)

Rather than manually change each resource (a big job) - is there a way to globally revert all resources to the previous default ie same window and in a frame?

TIA

I don't understand why this happened ... did you visit the admin page directly after the upgrade to complete the upgrade? 

Anyhow, you can fix it by going into MySQL Admin and running an SQL command like this:

update mdl_resource set options = 'frame';

Thanks for another prompt answer - it seemed to do the trick.

When we upgraded we had a SQL problem (could not write to temp dir - mentioned in installation/upgrade forum) which caused all sorts of oddities - possibly this as well.
