General Discussion and Questions / Re: Blender thumbnailss
Last post by Mario - Today at 08:12:15 PMI just did what I explained and it works. Did you try to force an update of the files in IMatch. Did you register the latest Blender version as the default application for .BLEND files?
I don't have Windows 10 anymore anywhere so I can't experiment. It works just fine here.

Last post by kirk - Today at 07:51:48 PMI do have same Blender version but Win10? Can it be a reason? My monster of a laptop with Nvidia 3800 gpu and i7 cpu from couple years ago says it doesn't meet minimal requirements for win11. How can I check iMatch log?
Here is the addon if anyone need it:
ADMIN SAYS: Please do not post hundreds of lines of script text in posts. This makes your post unreadable on mobiles and fills the community search engine with nonsense, which is bad for all. Attach larger text bodies to your post.
I have done it this time for you.

Last post by Mario - Today at 10:49:45 AMAnd after upgrading my Blender version to the latest 4.2.1 LTS and doing a Shift+Ctrt+F5 > Force Update on the sample blender files I have, I get:
What is apparently required is to register Blender as the default application for .BLEND files, like so:

Last post by Mario - Today at 10:29:02 AMWhich Blender version do you use on which Windows version?
Which warnings does IMatch log into the log file when you try to extract thumbnails?
I don't see Blender thumbnails in Windows Explorer (W11) and when IMatch uses 3 different ways to extract thumbnails for .BLEND files available as "Windows Shell thumbnail handlers", two return an error (unsupported format) and the last one is the fall-back to the application icon. So what I get in IMatch and Windows Explorer is this:

Last post by kirk - September 08, 2024, 11:45:10 PMI now see Blender files thumbnails in Windows file explorer. And even able to see hierarchical keywords and credits. I happened to persuade chat GPT to do me a python script that write those into XMP side files from Blender.
But I still don't see the thumbnails in IMatch ?
Should I?

Last post by Mario - September 08, 2024, 10:48:19 AMThank you for providing the database with the problem.
I could reproduce the problem immediately, which is good.
Here is what happens:
When the "family manager" in the People View fetches information about families from the database, all the data is valid, except one family entity with the tag "Schule" (does that ring a bell?) which is invalid. It does not look like a family entity but like a person entity.
And since this entity is invalid does not have the properties expected by the family manager and people view, the app fails to load families (the Family tab is always empty) and this also causes follow-up errors like the Person Selector no longer working.
Do you remember anything special about the family with the tag "Schule"? How you created it?
Did you perhaps import and export person data? Manually changed data in the IMatch database with an SQL Tool?
I have checked the code, but I cannot see any way where IMatch stores a person record as a family.
I will send you an updated JavaScript file which detects and fixes this particular problem. Follow the instructions in my email and your database will work perfectly fine afterwards.

General Discussion and Questions / Re: Database diagnostic
Last post by Mario - September 08, 2024, 09:45:49 AMQuoteQuite often I find myself with a "Database has errors" warning.That's extremely uncommon. Please provide more details about the kinds of errors, when you receive the message and provide the database diagnostic log file. The regular IMatch log file is helpful, but only the diagnosis log file (also in the TEMP folder on your computer) shows the results of the diagnosis.
What I see in the IMatch log file provided is alarming:
I/O error while reading or writing data: 'disk I/O error' [100]
The database system reported that it could not read or write data from the device containing the database. This is extremely rare and indicates physical damage of the disk, a cable issue or similar. If this is a network drive, the network is not reliable, causing bit errors or read/write fails. The device is unfit to be used to store an IMatch database.
A while later the database system, of course, reports
'database disk image is malformed'
If there are read/write errors on a device, the database will become physically corrupted. This database is damaged beyond repair.
Your database is stored on drive A:
What kind of drive is that?
Please replace that damaged device or check for issues.
Restore an undamaged backup of your database or start a fresh database on a disk attached to your computer, like C:
I'm quite sure, you won't experience any issues afterwards.

Last post by Mario - September 08, 2024, 09:43:56 AMAs long as the underlying system has proper locking implemented, there is no harm using SQLite over a network.
Cheap NAS boxes with old SAMBA versions or faulty network stacks may cause problems.

Last post by Lucio.B - September 08, 2024, 09:23:23 AMQuite often I find myself with a "Database has errors" warning.
Sometimes (and right now) running Database Diagnosis takes more than an hour, i tried to run it repeatidly on my present database and on some previous backed up versions but the tool keeps running forever. Pressing CTRL before start to avoid optimization doesn't change anything.
Log file attached.
Thank You!
