[NMJ v2] NMJ2 Not particularly robust?

[bigkid]

Hi all.

I have just had to do a fourth rescan in 10 days due to some problem with the NMT, NMJ or its database. I have also done a complete reset.

All I am doing is renaming files and updating NMJ, in order to resolve any inaccuracies - well, as many as possible before I get stuck in with NMJ2T. On four occasions now, NMJ has not run after an update but taken me directly to NMJ Manager with only options for scanning available for selection. When confronted with this, I have scanned again, to no avail.

If I check the database with NMJ2T, it opens and looks fine. If I replace the database with a backup, it still won't open.

I have no choice but to undertake yet another 12hr re-scan.

I am at a loss as to what is going wrong here. While I have used NMJ2Toolbox to open the database for viewing, and to change images, apart from the first occasion, I have not done any real editing at this time. Nor are any similar problems reported in the NMJ2T thread. So I don't suspect any edits there as causing problems.

NMJ2 just doesn't seem particularly robust if a standard procedure such as an update or scan can corrupt it in some way. I query the point of methodically backing up the database, when, if you restore it, it won't open. (I am just copying the db over the old one - do I need do anything else?)

Anyone encountered anything like this? Any advice gratefully accepted.

Regards,

Allan

ps. after spending many days on this, I've pretty much had enough of NMJ2, prefer the reliability and control of MLMJ.......bring back html functionality!
