Any ETA?
I'm closely following the topic to finish the conversion tool as soon as possible.
Thanks :)

@Shampra, it should be delivered with the latest release, along with other fixes for the JSON import/export issues you reported. Please check 🙏

it seems to work... damn, I'll have to work on the converter again 😅.
Thanks!

No, in fact it doesn't work at all!

It's work when we export and import from the same account.
Because the ID seems to be used to link to the already existing object? (I tried to change the name of the imported object in the json and for the file to understand : it keep the previous one!)

If I import in a new account, it doesn't work
So, if we import from another apps, it doesn't work (Converter can't work)

Oh, pehaps it explains this issue : https://community.anytype.io/t/imported-file-not-visible-with-set/12308
Object is not really imported.

@fuksman Have you have a chance to take a look at this?

Shampra · Answer 9 · Fri Jan 12 2024 14:39:19 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Yest, tested yesterday with 0.37.6-alpha.

- Create a page with file
- Go offline
- Export page
- change account/space
- Import page
Failed (the only change is that now the file size is indicated)

@hskrtich @Shampra hey there. Yes, we confirm that the problem is on our side, and we aim to fix it along with the files refactoring (files as objects, expected to be delivered in the next release).

I've just tested today's version, and it's better than ever!
Image (and sound or pdf) files are displayed on the page. However, it's impossible to open the object.
And the same goes for other files (text, etc.).
In both cases, clicking on them takes you back to the homepage.

If it's still open, I guess it's normal, otherwise it may be useful 😉

Could you please answer to following questions regarding your problem?

Did you use last version v0.37.17?
Did you use export of single object or export of full space?
Did you do it in local only mode?
Could you describe or provide screenshot of how your page looks?

Shampra · Answer 13 · Wed Jan 24 2024 22:47:18 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I want to be sure that importing from another source (note from Evernote ) works, so I make sure to block any potential source of recovery internal to Anytype.

In Anytype 0.37.17-beta in a standard account (not local only mode), I create a space, create an object page, add some stuff (here : an image, a txt file, a mp3, a pdf as link)
I cut the network (now or before)
I export the page as JSON with all checked expect archived files
I delete the space
I create a new empty space
File -> Import -> Anyblock : OK
In the imported page :
the sound and the pdf works fine, I can use them inline or open them as object
Image is fine inline but if I want to open as object : Homage; same file file, if I click on it, I arrive on the homepage

Do you have these files in your export archive in file folder?

Shampra · Answer 15 · Wed Jan 24 2024 23:16:30 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Yes
Here's the export (nothing sensitive, I think)

It can be closed, tested ok with 0.39.0 Desktop.
