images dissapeared

Post by spyke007 »

Hi,
A few weeks ago i had an disk crash, fortunately i had a backup (clone) of my user folder.
i restored the macdive folder to the Aplication Support folder.
All my dive and license are oké but i lost all my pictures....
The strange thing is that all my pictures are inside the macdive folder....
So i don't get it.....
I really hope i don't have to ....

Did you change your username when you restored your data?

If so, that is the reason, and you will need to re-add them. If not, please Compress (Zip) the entire directory and either email it to me or give me a dropbox link, so that I can take a look and see what's going on.

Alright, the only thing is do the rename homefolder trick or re-enter all my pictures

Thanks for the quick reply

Yes, unfortunately the image paths include your full home directory (because they aren't necessarily in your home directory, they might be in another location). It's something I have been meaning to fix.

If you send me your MacDive.sqlite file, I can manually fix it - you would also need to give me your new username, and I can do a one off update for you if you like.
