Hi Simon,

The way to check if the sqlite file is corrupted or not is to try to compact the database.
To fix it up, you can try to dump the database to a file and reimport it.

Here is the command:
sqlite3 flock-data.sqlite .dump > output.sql
sqlite3 flock-data.sqlite < output.sql

Hi Mary,

I had a look at your profile and did not see any of the errors you saw, which is strange.
I could see all your Flock accounts but there were no bookmarks (but your database file was not corrupted which is strange too).

The good news is that your backup (bookmarks-2009-07-16.json) has all your bookmarks and you can recover it. Your bookmark icons will come back once you start visiting the site you have bookmarked.

Es muy pronto!

Bruno replied on May 12, 2009 16:45 to the question "Why did my sidebar erase everything?" in Flock:

Thank you Stephanie for uploading your file. I've checked it and it's not corrupted. Can you upload the whole profile?

Bruno replied on March 20, 2009 19:07 to the problem "Why does Flock refuse to save any Favourites?" in Flock:

Hello Claire,

Thank you for sending us your profile. I looked at it and tracked down the problem to the corruption of places.sqlite in your profile folder.
This is what you can do:
- export your bookmarks to a html file (in Flock choose Favorites-Organize Favorites)
- delete that places.sqlite file as well as the bookmarkbackups folder.
- Restart Flock and import your bookmarks from the html file you created

Bruno

PS: Flock 2.1 will solve this corruption problem.

Bruno replied on March 19, 2009 18:30 to the question "Flock wont launch" in Flock:

Hello Mike,

Could you delete that Flock folder in C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Application Data\ and this time do not import from Firefox?

Bruno replied on February 26, 2009 00:39 to the idea "Let me save only to Delicious, and bypass any saving to local favorites" in Flock:

That will be possible in Flock 2.1. Thanks

Bruno replied on January 19, 2009 18:27 to the problem "Bookmarks gone... forever?" in Flock:

Hi Basile,

Can you tell me what was the version you were using before? 2.0.2? 1.2.7?
If it was 1.2.7 did you abort Flock even because the bookmark migration was taking more then a minute?

Bruno replied on January 15, 2009 22:37 to the question "flock 2 crashing when launched" in Flock:

Your profile is stored in C:\Users\[your login profile name]\AppData\Roaming\Flock\Browser\Profile

Bruno replied on January 15, 2009 18:14 to the question "How Do I Export or save all my fav plus data to restore later" in Flock:

No that one is the Program Folder.
The "application data" in c:\documents and settings\[your user name] is usually hidden. In your Windows explorer, go to Tools/Folder Options and "Show hidden files and folders"

Bruno replied on January 14, 2009 17:43 to the question "Where are the favorites?!" in Flock:

You can save the whole profile. It is stored in different places based on what type of computer you use.

Windows 2000 and XP
C:\Documents and Settings\[your login profile name]\Application Data\Flock\Browser\

Windows Vista
C:\Users\Yourloginprofile\AppData\Roaming\Flock\Browser

Mac OS X
The profile folder is in a folder named "Flock," and you'll find it on this path:
(your home folder)>Library>Application Support>Flock

Linux
~/.flock/browser/

If you want to just save your favorites, you can export them by going to Favorites/Organize Favorites or (Favorites/Favorites Manager in Flock 1.2)

Thank you very much. This error does not pose any problem. It should also happen in Firefox.

A profile is usually to big to go through regular email. That's why we use http://www.yousendit.com

Bruno replied on January 12, 2009 23:42 to the question "flock 2 crashing when launched" in Flock:

I might be able to help you if you send me your profile? Would it be possible to briefly restore the Lucene folder before you send it to me?

Hi,

You don't need Outlook for this. You can use any browser.

Hello,

It seems that you database got corrupted and we are sorry about that.
You will have to rename, in your folder, the file flock-data.sqlite to oldFlock-data.sqlite. You can send it to me for verification at http://www.yousendit.com to performance@flock.com.

Thanks

Bruno replied on January 09, 2009 20:56 to the problem "Flock-Yahoo Mail-Data Execution" in Flock:

Looking at your event viewer message, it seems that Flash is crashing. Can you uninstall Adobe Flash and Flock then reinstall Flock?

Bruno replied on January 08, 2009 21:42 to the problem "HOSTAGE FAVORITES!" in Flock:

Since the freezing might be caused by an extension, try to start Flock in safemode.

Bruno

PS: if you are using Flock 2, there's a directory called bookmarkbackups than you can use to import favorites from.
