Hi All,

I am using Skrooge since a couple of days but having imported a ton of stuff ran into the same problem twice.
After a crash, I can't open my file anymore, I'm asked for the password. First time round I didn't even have a password on that file.
I started over the quite laborious job of importing things and this time round thought, hey let's set a password. Closed after some work, reopened, no problems.
But yesterday, having done a lot of work, I ran into the same problem: crash, no crash window though, which I find very strange. Now I can't open my file anymore because Skrooge keeps asking for a password, but apparently it is not accepting the password I set anymore.

Just wanted to put this out there, just in case other people experienced the same problem.

Back to my paper binders. :-)

regards

Hi,

I am the main developer of Skrooge and I am very interested by your issue.
What is your version of Skrooge?

When Skrooge asks a password, it means that Skrooge is not able to open the sql database so certainly because encrypted (or corrupted).
Could you confirm that the size of the skg file is not 0?

Do you have the skg file on an hard disk with enough free space (at least 2xsize of the skg file)?

Regards.
Stephane

Bonjour :-)

Skrooge version info:
2.7.0 on Opensuse Tumbleweed
KDE Frameworks 5.30.0
Qt 5.7.1 (built against 5.7.1)
The xcb windowing system

/dev/mapper/system-home 50G 46G 4.1G 92% /home
My .skg file is 9.4MB

Password is set to be saved in KDE Wallet, but there is no password in there although I can open and close the file when I am not experiencing crashes.
I have a backup saved with extension .old. This file is not password protected apparently and I can recover data from there.
(Still getting started I am entering a lot of data manually so it is a bit of a pain in the lower back area.)

The crashes happen after running for quite some time and I can't reproduce them unfortunately.

Still, thanks for the work on this Stephane.
regards
