Bonjour

J'ai télécharger la dernière version et j'ai vu les évolutions du logiciel JWLmanager
Merci beaucoup pour ce travail
J'ai fusionné des archives mais j'ai perdu les liens vers les articles des publications
Est-ce que j'ai oublié de faire quelques choses dans le processus ?
Merci de votre aide

EDIT (added translation):
Hello

I've downloaded the latest version and I've seen the evolutions of the JWLmanager software.
Thank you very much for this work
I merged some archives but I lost the links to the articles in the publications.
Did I forget to do something in the process?
Thanks for your help

Hi @sfonclaud

I have translated your issue for the benefit of others.

I'm not sure I understand which "links" you are referring to. Where did you have these links?

Hi

Indeed, forgive me

The links at the bottom of the notes to the articles from which the notes originate have disappeared

That is unusual. Some extra information may be useful:

  • Is it just these three notes?
  • Are the "missing" ones from one publication in particular, or from different publications?
  • Can you confirm that the "original" backup file that contained them does have a link?
  • Did both backups have them with links?
  • Did you export and import the notes using JWLManager, or just merge one backup into another?

You have not responded. Have you been able to resolve the issue? If not, can you provide me with the information requested above, please.

Hello

Sorry for the delay, here are the answers

Is it just these three notes?

These are all my notes, only the links to the Bible verses are present.

Are the "missing" notes from a particular publication, or from different publications?

From different publications

Can you confirm that the "original" backup file containing them does indeed have a link?

I confirm

Did both backups have them with links?

Both backups had links, they were merged, with the notes and highlights but no more links on the notes.

Did you export and import the notes using JWLManager, or did you simply merge one backup into another?

I opened a backup by going to file -> open and merged it with another file by going to file -> merge and then I chose the second backup

Thank you. I cannot replicate this on my end.
What devices are the backups from? Is one a much older backup?

Would you be able to send me the backups? My email is in Help>About...

@sfonclaud

Please test again with v8.0.1

If the issue persist, use the Note Viewer to see what links/data it shows for these notes before and after the merge.

@sfonclaud

Have you had a chance to try with the updated v8.0.1 or v8.0.2?
Have you used the Note Viewer to see what links/data it shows for these notes before and after the merge?

Is the issue still relevant?

@sfonclaud

With the help of another user, I believe I have found the issue, apparently created by some recent under-the-hood changes to JW Library.

Please test with v8.1.0
