[solved] Can't Upgrade to version 3.8

Today I wanted to upgrade to the new version but it was not able to convert the existing database file.
It states: "The Notebook file '…' was created by a older version of CintaNotes and cannot be upgraded."

What additional informations should I provide to solve the issue?
(Or is this an already known Problem?)

Thanks
Chris

I've not seen this... are you upgrading from 3.7?

I suppose you could try and do an export/import to work around it for now or something?

If there's any logs you could check %APPDATA%\CintaNotes.

Hi Chris, sorry to hear about the issue.
Could you please send me some logs of the startup process?
You can run cintanotes with -d switch if necessary.

Thanks for the hint with the logfile.
CintaNote tried to create a directory under C: 'root' which is not allowed.

Code: Select all

Error message: boost::filesystem::create_directories: Access denied: "c:\temp_BAK_CintaNotes"]


I started the upgrade without the 'Create Backup' option and successfully upgraded :D

Glad to hear that you managed to get to the root of the issue!
We definitely need to provide a more helpful error message in this case.
Added a task to our backlog.
