Database could not be found after downloading

[explit28]

When the App starts for the first time, there is of course no database there.
If i go to the setting and check for the new Database - it found Version 16, and i could download it.
After downloading, if i go back - the app tells - there is still no database there.
Openning the Setting page again - tells, that database version 16 is there.

SailfishOS 2.1.4.14 / Sony Xperia X

PS: SailfishOSm 2.2.0.29 / Sony Xperia X- same problem

Have you tried to restart the application?

[explit28]

Will look into after finishing all the GDPR stuff for customers...

I have the same problem when the database.gz did not correctly download so it would not unzip apparently. Only workaround I found was use an already unzipped database from another sailfish device.

Analysis of this issue

The database file is correctly downloaded and gunzipped by Chennzeihhan 1.3.0, but still carries the extension .gz after that: Chennzeihhan 1.3.0 misses to remove it after downloading and unpacking, but when trying to use it, it looks for this file without the .gz file name extension.

Temporary, manual fix

To fix this, in ~/.local/share/harbour-chennzeihhan/ rename carplates.sqlite.gz to carplates.sqlite

Suggestion for a proper fix

Change Chennzeihhan to automatically remove the .gz extension from the database file name, when (or after) gunzipping.
