Recovery of old MacDive data possible?
Posted: Sat Jul 18, 2020 11:58 pm
Hi guys,
I really like to hold on to the data of the dives that I did before 2015 and annotated well in MacDive; see my previous Python script posts. Now I have some dives to add from a beautiful trip in Indonesia last year. Unfortunately, the old data files were lost in moving from one Mac to another. There might still be some possibilities:
-1- My current /Users/jd/Library/Application\ Support/MacDive/MacDive.sqlite only seems to contain boilerplate info but not the 300+ dives.
-2- Backup to no avail and I have about ten drives.
-3- Dropbox I cancelled this cloud option in 2019 and apparently didn't save the data but removed the account completely.
-4- iCloud didn't have that 'in the days' I think. There is nothing in the newly created area's anywho.
-5- Google Drive contains some goodies in Apps/MacDive. Especially in the MainStore.v2/baselines/xxx.cdeevent.cdezip file there seems to be good data when uncompressed. I recognize my buddie names and countries visited.
Would that .cdeevent.cdezip be usable in the new MacDive? A link to my whole MacDive directory can be found here.
Btw, thanks to devs for honorring my 7 year old license to the latest version; uncommon nowadays and much appreciated.
Cheers,
Jurgen
