Updating to 2.2 on Ubuntu but won't start with 'old' setting

Kneops · Post by **Kneops** » Sat Apr 25, 2015 8:10 pm

I put this question in the wrong topic (the one with the release info), so I'm starting a new topic...

I installed the new version, but when I start it, it first asks me where to put the files. So I set the location to the folders I'm already using, but then ASP won't start.
When I choose a different folder then my already existing .AfterShotPro folder, namely .AfterShot folder, it will start, but then I loose all my settings and catalogs. When I set my catalog folder to the existing one, it creates a new empty one inside the old one.

I tried copying all of the contents of the old settingsfolder to the new folder, but then ASP again won't start.

I was having the same issues. I think I may have solved it.

I have used the new catalogs and have tried File-> Open Catalog and then have found the 2014 catalog. It has now added it to the 2015 catalog. I am not sure if that is what you are trying to achieve.

Hmm, maybe I haven't as it will no longer open.

Back to the drawing board.

Anyone know where the config files would be hidden? I can no longer open ASP, I have removed completely, reinstalled and even have tried a full shut down, but I cannot get it to start.

Re-install rarely fixes anything...

Have a look at

Code: Select all

~/.config/Corel/AfterShot\ Pro\ v2.conf

And

Code: Select all

~/.AfterShot*

I opened the .config... file and the settings are the same as when using the option to choose the folders at startup:

.AfterShot
catalogfolder: home/jack/FotoArchiefASP

But as you can see, it only creates a subfolder in that folder and I still can't access my catalogs. I don't want them inside this newly created folder.

These are the current settings in the config file for ASP Pro 2: http://i.imgur.com/OowUthq.png

It's a bug.

Seems the new version for Linux wasn't tested well enough before release. Best to delete all ASP config files and then completely remove ASP2.2. Once done, re-install v2.1 again. You should now be good to go. You'll also need to re-install any plugins you have previously. You shouldn't need to touch the catalogue folder.

Hopefully, the devs will be quick to release a patch to overcome this glaring oversight, then we can happily re-install 2.2.

See attachment for the log file.

looks like these may be the problems:

Code: Select all

27.23: "BError: type = 1013, "decompressRawData cancelled" in file ../src/NefReader.cpp:2251"
...
57.442: Error - Unable to load setting created with a later version of Bibble.

Can you start on a folder with fresh NEFS without xmp files?

You mean when using the folder tab, not the catalog tab I assume.
I just did, but that doesn't give me the catalogs. But perhaps I don't quite understand what you mean.

I just tried something and now I have my catalogs back: I copied the rootdb file from the old folder to the new folder.
Nevertheless I think this can be considerd a bug. Updating to a new version should be basic and simple.

I'm facing the same issue : after installing the latest version, it asks for files and catalog location and, then
1- if I try to select the ones of the previous installation, it crashes
2- if I accept the ones that it suggests me, it works but
a- goodbye my settings
b- I have to re-enter my licence key.
Why can't ASP under Ubuntu correctly install simply retrieving the old parameters ?
Just one more thing : there are no NEFs nor XMPs on my disk.
EDIT :
OK, I found the reason : the version installed was rather old - 2.0.2.10 - and, at this time, it was AfterShotPro2, but since 2.1.2.10 it has become Aftershot2 !
Then, the versions are installed in folders called resp. AfterShotPro2 and AfterShot2, and they can be run independantly (but not together).
NB : 2.2.0.29 still refuses to run unless I remove the plugins (reading the release notes pointed me to this).
Hope they updtae the plugins so I can use ASP soon.

Regards,

J.-Luc

Anyone know if this has been fixed yet?
I really want to install the update, but have been holding off.

The only rootdb that came up on a search was in my home folder. Is this the rootdb that you are referring to?
