[CLOSED] XML update and database refresh

Hi Paul,
I noted that when one point a XML data file issue (created by old version of MM), and if one goes to update this XML in MM, then just re-syncing the MMbrowser database is not sufficient. One need to clear the full database and re-sync, otherwise the updates would not be picked-up. Not a major issue, but make the SmartSync / Full Sync button on the interface not that useful...
Thanks

Hi Gilles2,

This shouldn't be the case, as anything at all that touches the XML files (thereby changing their date) should be caught and processed by the SmartSync.

On occasion, things can get a bit out of sync, which is why I gave the ability to do a full refresh from the settings menu. This should be exception, though, and not the norm.

I'll do some more testing on this in the next version to see if I can find a problem in my code. Sometimes things do break during the process of code improvement.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Gilles2,

I was able to reproduce this issue, and discovered two small bugs with the SmartSync logic were contributing towards the problem.

These have now been fixed in v1.8.2018.0318.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Paul
