Problem to restore a library

franco27 opened this issue · comments

Hello

I created a backup file, to restore the library. With version 0.15.1 .

I can't select this file because in android file manager it is greyed out (file is in light color) (see screenshot)

I tried to restore this library backup file, with the latest version 0.16.0.

  1. I uninstalled version 0.16.0 and reinstalled version 0.15.1.
    Same problem. I cannot select the file.

I give you the hardware information of my phone.
Xiaomi Redmi 8

To downgrade completely, this is the process I followed on an Android 10 emulator:

  • Install 0.15.1, add a show
  • Upgrade to 0.16.0, create a backup in the default location (the Downloads folder in my case).
  • Uninstall 0.16.0 and reinstall 0.15.1
  • Restore from backup and choose the specific folder from the left slide-out menu
    image
  • Select the database file from that folder. You could also try enabling the Show internal storage option if that doesn't work and navigate through the internal storage.

I also had to edit the database in an SQLite editor first to downgrade the database version to 8 with a command like this:
PRAGMA user_version = 8;

Thank you for these explanations.
I followed your advice, and indeed, by the "shortcut" menu of downloads, I still cannot select the library file.
But by going and opening, this folder by a root folder (by phone storage), I can select the library files.

On the other hand, after the selection, I do not return to your application "episode 0.15.1". And when I try to open it, your app closes immediately. This repeats (can't open again), I can't see your episode app window.

I forced it to close and then tried to open it again. Always closing when opening (after clicking on the icon).

I solved by updating, to the latest version 0.16.0. THANKS
