batch raised errors

[damien]

Hi,

I've a new problem wit PSU :

impossible to syncronize "details", 'geo" and impossible write metadata in files.
(You can see the psu's message in attahcment)

I already do :
- rename the thumbs.db file
- Build missing thumbs and previews from the hamburger menu.

but nothing, i've allways the problem.

Do you have some idea please ?
(I do not hide that I am a little fed up with this software which often crashes)

Thansk a lot,
Damien

The error seems to be indicating that you have problems with the image files themselves ?
Are they on the same machine as the program and database or running over a network from another machine ?

The files are on an external HDD. PSU find them without problem.
Ive test on another files and is the same behavior.

That message indicates that the database file is corrupted.
Best to restore your catalog from a backup.

my last backup dates back a month, and I've made a lot of changes since then. We do not save each time a photo is added.

For 3 years I had to do at least 6 restorations of the base, that's a lot!! I like PSU but this software often crashes, it's annoying.

Software crashes are never a reason for a SQLite database to corrupt. A SQLite database typically corrupts when there is an outage while a write operation is in progress. Psu has zero control over how SQLite manages its database file.

https://www.sqlite.org/howtocorrupt.html

SQLite is known to be very robust. Most important: never keep the database files on a network drive but keep the database files on a local drive. For instance if you keep the database files on a network drive then the slightest network drop introduces the risk of corruption.
As for every computer file that is important to you you should include such files in a solid backup strategy.

If you are familiar with SQLite tools then there are things to try to recover a database file.
https://www.sqlite.org/recovery.html

Last but not least: if you run Psu with its default Sync-Write settings then Psu writes the most relevant catalog info also to the file’s metadata as the ICS schema. You should be able to recover such data by enabling ICS reading in the settings.

1. Restore your old backup
2. Enable ICS reading
3. Verify folder and import the changes found
4. After the reading completes, disable ICS reading again
6. Make regular backups of all computer files that are important, that may include your PSU catalog files

My database is on a local drive.
My files are on external drive.

My catalogue was not corrupted the last time i ue it.
It was ok to syncronise et put details et geo...

I want create a new catalogue but now i've the right and PSU ask me to update the database. Its a nonsense : i create it with with the last version of PSU. (see in attachement)

For a new catalog, make sure that you enter the default password
