Manga DB - accidental delete bug
Posted: Sat Jun 03, 2017 3:45 pm
This is a bug that I discovered when using Manga DB but was unsure If you were already unaware or if I already told you about it.
This is somewhat related to viewtopic.php?f=12&t=8
If you delete a manga from the database, a dialogue box comes up stating that "Files will not be deleted" please confirm. This is great, but upon another re-scan of the database "Run Library Scan" that chosen manga will not appear. I had a look at the manga.db file and it seems the manga is still preserved but just won't appear or re-import. I also can't edit the manga.db and remove the entry or it will result in a manga.db is malformed error.
It is unclear if this is by design, but there has been a few times, I've accidentally pressed a key and accidentally got rid of a manga this way, and unable to re-import it back in without deleting the original manga.db file. I am reluctant to do that since I will loose my rating information. viewtopic.php?f=8&p=388#p388
The only solution I've found it to rename the original folder directory by appending a suffix labelled something like "eng" to the directory name but this fix is rather tacky and only a temporary solution until the next iteration of Manga DB.
Could we also perhaps have a separate sub-forum for Manga DB/Kuru Reader releated bugs? Unless you prefer all bugs to be in one thread.
Thanks!
