I had 0.64, the last latest version so to speak.

The file is too big, maximum allowed size is 1 MiB. Message from forum 'Post a Reply'

My zipped .db is over 4 mb. How do I get it to you, Dropbox somehow or....???

Cheers

tony

I have the same problem but with XnViewMP 0.67 x64 on Win7 x64..

I try to update from 0.64 to 0.67 and get the same message as above.
"XnviewMP - There is a problem to update database, please contact the developer"

(PS: My DB is too private to share but I would contribute any other way to fix this)...

To Pierre:

Do a dialog like this (which also will help to be more user-friendly):

"Upgrading the database (## % completed)"

...and update it with percentages after each upgrade step you do. Something like this:

SQLExec(myDB, 'UPDATE Table1 SET f1='foo' WHERE f2='blah'');
SetPercentage(10);
SQLExec(myDB, 'UPDATE Table2 SET f1='bar' WHERE f2='baz'');
SetPercentage(20);
...

...and then modify the message from "XnviewMP - There is a problem to update database, please contact the developer" to "XnviewMP - There is a problem to update database at ## %, please contact the developer"

It doesn't matter that the percentages will change/ramp up very very fast in normal conditions. It is just a 'hidden code' for you to know where the program was stopped. Also if you can get the error code/message and show it, it would be ideal. Something like this:

"XnviewMP - There is a problem to update database at ## % - error code: ######, please contact the developer"

With 0.68 I still can't update. Now I get an "Error: 11" in the message popup.

Go to Tools | Settings | Integration | Paths and press the "Open Database Location" button. It should open a window with some files on it. Choose from there the xnview.db and if it is big make it zip (compress it) - it compresses very well - and send it to Pierre.

Thanks, the program didn't open anymore. I downgraded with the help of Time Machine, found the db and will send it to Pierre.
