MobileSheetsPro 1.1.6 - New diagnostic section
#10
I agree that it's appropriate to find the cause of the problem and fix it, which I assume is one of the reasons that the diagnostic section was added. Detecting when & where the problem has occurred is a good first step. But besides detecting these problems, I think it's important to give users a convenient way to fix them. Currently, I need to write down (or memorize) which songs reported missing files, then go to the song list, find them, and fix them by whatever means (song edit, swap files, etc.). Then I go back to the diagnostics section and see if there are any I missed. It's kind of tedious.

In my case, the problem seems to have occurred in my "non-Pro" MobileSheets library at some point. I made a backup and subsequently restored in MobileSheetsPro, and looking back at my MobileSheets library, the same songs seem to be broken there. It's possible that the bug that caused the files to be deleted was related to an older backup/restore that I did in the past.

Actually, on further reflection, I am now recalling one situation that Mike fixed in the past, that could explain some of the missing files. There are cases where I am linking to the same image or PDF files from different songs, and some of those songs were the ones which were reporting the images were not present. There is logic in the backup process for not adding a shared image file multiple times to the backup file, and there may have been a previous bug that did not correctly link the multiple songs to the shared images/PDF in some cases. (Mike may remember this).

Another thing to consider is that MobileSheets managed image files differently than MobileSheetsPro (I am letting Pro manage the image files, as recommended). Therefore, my "non-managed" backup could have been damaged in other ways that caused the restore process to be incomplete.

Thanks again for talking about this and suggesting ways to correct the problem.

Mike S.
