I believe I see what your problem may be ??
You may have accidentality split some Folders and Files between your desktop hard drive and your iCloud drive. This will cause program confusion.
Please check
Preferences > General > Data folder location:. In normal operations the location should be:
~/Library/Application Support/********pedia and
ALL those files I mentioned in Pedia Maintenance Practices would normally be there. But what may have happened is when you moved your Database to your iCloud drive you did not carry over ALL the files.
Your iCloud drive location in Preferences should read:
/iCloud Drive/********pedia
Please have a good read of:
Help > ********pedia > Overview > Configuration > The database
Now as for all those Folders and Files found in App Cleaner you can delete (including the pedia app). Then reinstall your Pedia. When you fire up your Pedia
first time after reinstall hold down the
Option Key and select
Choose Database.
You will however have to recreate your Preferences. If you are using Time Machine or some other backup (I hope you are backing up
), to save you recreating your Preferences you could Restore your Preference file from prior to the update.
Also using Time Machine you could restore any relevant Folders and Files etc. that would normally be in:
~/Library/Application Support/********pedia but Restore them to your
/iCloud Drive/********pedia
The
/InfoTemplates and
/Templates folders will not be there
if you have not created your own or downloaded pedia enthusiasts templates from here:
https://bruji.com/extras/ Standard Pedia Templates come as part of the Pedia Package Contents within the Pedia app itself.
If you don't find these files, e.g. the .xml files, they will be automatically recreated in your iCloud drive so long as you have correctly pointed the program to that drive in
Preferences > General > Data folder location:
Remember also that there are some hidden menu tasks that you can perform:
'hold down the option key and click on the main Help menu in each program once and select - each in turn:
'Verify Database', 'Remove Orphaned Covers' and 'Clean Duplicates in Fields' these may not solve your problems but it wont hurt either.
Hope all of this is of help. Let us all know how you get on.
