Hi everyone,
Based on 2 CSV’s we have a form created. We have a number of fields added features such as field options in a list box or a picture field, a GPS location or date, … These we have made as a backup. Now it is the intention that we daily blank backup and restore data entry do. At the end of the day we make them again backed up. The next day we returned to use the blank backup, but now that there is a cache memory which remains in the blank backup completed fields are empty except for the photo fields.
Is there a solution for?
Thanks!
Hello Gerrit,
Try doing a force-quit of Tap Forms using the multi-tasking dock after you restore the database. See if that resolves the cacheing issue.
Thanks,
Brendan
Thanks Brendan, but it is still not working.
Now i start from a clean installation of Tap Forms, all forms removed in Tap Forms then restore database (4 buttons), make a clean backup…to put to another device with Tap Forms.
But now Tap Forms crash when i restore the backup file?
Hi Gerrit,
Can you send me your backup file and I’ll test it out?
Thanks!
Brendan
Hi Brendan,
We still use your great app.
But is there maybe a possible solution to the photo cache question?
kind regards,
Gerrit
Hello Gerrit,
You could simply unzip the backup file, then remove all the unwanted photos, then re-zip the files again. Make sure you’re not just zipping the backup folder, but only zipping up the contents of the folder after you zip it up.
For example, if the backup was called “TF-iPhone 5-2012-10-07T02-17-16.zip” and you unzip it, your OS may create a folder called “TF-iPhone 5-2012-10-07T02-17-16”. Once you remove the photos from this folder, then make sure you open up that folder, then zip all of its contents. Don’t zip the “TF-iPhone 5-2012-10-07T02-17-16” folder itself.
That’s because when Tap Forms unzips the backup file, it expects all of the files to be at the top-level of the zip archive, not within a folder inside the zip archive.
Thanks!
Brendan
