Web URLs in User Notes get corrupted


Darin Franklin

Recommended Posts

I am trying to create a User Notes file with one Web URL on the first verse of every chapter of HMT-W4.  Everything works fine up to 1Sam 21:1, which is the 253rd chapter.  When I add 1Sam 22:1, then Instant Details shows the entire list of URL’s when I hover over the link.  The rest of the URL’s still work.  When I add 1Sam 23:1, then all of the links are showing the URL for the previous verse, with Gen 1:1 showing 1Sam 23:1. If I continue adding notes, all of the links get corrupted, missing letters, etc.  Sometimes it just hangs when I try to save a note.  See the attached files.

test253: everything is OK

test254: check the last link (1Sam 22:1)

test255: everything goes wrong

 

I just noticed that something else is wrong in test253.  If I open it with File > New > User Notes, the last verse is 1Sam 31:13, but it should be 1Sam 21:1.

As of 11.1.2, this is still broken. I found an easier way to reproduce it.  I only need to start entering notes on 1Sam 20:1, then 1Sam 21:1, 1Sam 22:1, etc.  When I do 23:1, the links stop working and get corrupted as I described above.  Something is wrong starting with 1Sam 22:1, and it does not matter how many notes I have entered before it.  The search text is set to HMT-W4.

Darin, I'm sorry about your difficulties.  However, we really appreciate your report.  Thanks to your good test cases, we found and fixed a variety of issues, including:

 

1) URL corruption when editing the second-to-last note.

2) Handling of 1Sam21:1 and similar verses that are missing from English texts.

3) Other minor URL fixes.

 

These fixes are in beta testing right now, but should go public soon.

I see that Accordance 11.1.3 has some bug fixes related to URLs and Notes, but my problem above still remains.  Did the fix for 1Sam 21:1 HMT-W4 not make it into 11.1.3?

Darin, the fixes for your notes files are included in 11.1.3, but existing URLs that already got corrupted can't get 'uncorrupted' by Accordance - we've simply prevented it from corrupting again.

 

So, are you able to fix the corruptions and move forward smoothly?

I tested it in 11.1.3 by creating a new User Notes file and adding notes on 1Sam 19:1, 20:1, 21:1, and 22:1 for HMT-W4.  Everything is fine until I add 22:1, and then instant details for the URL for 21:1 shows several incorrect links, and 22:1 shows nothing.  If I add 23:1 and 24:1, then hovering over the 24:1 URL causes Accordance to crash, and all of the other links show the wrong URL also.  I have HMT-W4 set as the Text order.  My new notes files are attached.

Darin, we are again sorry about the hassles.  We've been able to reassess it, and after some fixing I do think that now, finally, it is working.  We'll be posting a beta soon for our testers, and I'll be sure to send you a copy when ready for you confirm on your end as well.

 

Thanks again for your report!
