Hallo, mir sind bislang nur 2 kleine Bugs aufgefallen:

  • Deltachat merkt sich den Vollbildmodus nicht.

  • Man kann keinen Text mit der rechten Maustaste in das Eingabefeld kopieren.
    Es funktioniert nur mit STRG-V.

Was meinst du mit Vollbildmodus?

Meine die Maximierung des Programmfensters.
Es ist beim nächsten Start immer leicht nach links oben verschoben.

After installation all my messages are gone – is that intended?

Was the previous version from the appstore?
Appstore and dmg versions save their files to different folders.
Did you login again after reinstalling?

Was the previous version from the appstore?

yes

Appstore and dmg versions save their files to different folders.

ah, that makes sense!

Did you login again after reinstalling?

yes.

reinstalled from app store and all is fine. renamed the dmg version to delta chat 1.14 and can now have them run in parallel.

would it be possible / make sense to symlink the app store version folder to the the dmg version folder?

So I installed it (MacOS, Big Sur). I hadn’t used the desktop version in a while and I recently changed my account password. So I was greeted with the appropriate/expected error message and updated my password. This didn’t get rid of the error message. I noticed I also had to update the SMTP password and I did that. After that, the desktop app crashed and after the next start my existing configuration seems to be screwed. The is a known account but it seems to not have an email any longer …

Actually, I just entered my email and password again on the login screen and the existing conversations seem to be back.

[EDIT - to avoid spamming more replies to my self]

I now have a partially working account with no email address, but it says 'cannot login as ’ … I’m not sure how to fix this …

The error message on the bottom does show the correct address, though … -_-

Have you installed the new desktop version from the Mac store or from get.delta.chat?
If you see pre-existing chats it seems like you updated an existing install, right?
Do you have by chance hints from the server logs about attempts to login?

Also, what does it say after “no response: co”? The rest of the text is cut away.

Is the configure screen really empty?
Having the logs, info output (from the about screen) and the config table of the account database (question: are the right credentials in the right config fields?) would help to identify the problem. But as those might contain sensitive information they shouldn’t be posted publicly.

It is probably possible, though I don’t know the exact paths out of my head.

Yeah, I took the 1.14 version from the download link above.

Interestingly only the mail/password part was empty.

Not sure - Unfortunately I can’t reproduce this any longer as the downloaded 1.14 version stopped working with this message (deleted as I can’t add more comments and only 1 image per comment)

[Edit] (damn, I run into soooo many restrictions as a ‘new user’ on this forum … sigh)

I was too fast here (I’m getting pulled on from my kids right now and just wanted to send a DC message “quickly”) … so I had to allow it to open again from the “Security & Privacy” settings. Now Im getting greeted with this unusable screen:

The configured account name is empty and I can’t click it or get to its settings … I guess I’ll have to do some manual poking at the configuration database … -_-

[More Editing to get around new reply restriction]

Here’s an anonymized excerpt from the logfile. What’s curious:

  • the app starts from the regular location and then starts to referring to files that it seems to have picked up from my attached carbon copy cloner drive, that’s weird.
  • at some point SMTP seems to login fine (if i read the log correctly), but IMAP still isn’t able to connect

Also, here’s some data from the log from today that seems interesting:

Looking at the config table something curious: there are multiple entries “addr”, “mail_", "send_” that are emtpy but “configured_addr” and “configured_mail_" and "configured_send_” have the right values. I’ll try to “fix” this by adding those values to the plain entries.

Everything I could read from the log is that it thinks that your PW is wrong.

It’s weird that only the “configured_” configs have values but in theory this should not be a problem because we are mostly using those after configuration. Maybe we are using the ones without “_config” somewhere

ll try to “fix” this by adding those values to the plain entries.

it’ll be interesting to hear whether this fixes it.

Another thing you can try is: Try the Android or iOS app (my guess is: it will work there as it’s a desktop-specific bug)

At least for one issue I could help you: I lifted the “newby” restrictions for you.

So recap:

  1. You had an old version of DC, logged in there.
  2. you changed your emails accounts password.
  3. you updated DC to 1.14.x and encountered password wrong.
  4. your attempt updating the credentials failed.
  5. you said you’ll mess with the db in hope to fix it manually.

right?

Which old version did you upgrade from?
Can you tell me more about your attempt to fix the configuration? Is something in that procedure/dialog buggy?
Did your manual edit of the db fix it?

Right. I’m not sure what the old version was.

I think the update UI was already broken when I noticed that its an old password and trying to update it.

I manually fixed it in the DB - as I wrote above, some fields exist multiple times and I synchronized them - after that everything works fine again. (I do have some issue with autocrypt that I think is unrelated, though).

The procedure/dialog that was buggy was: the account name was empty and thus i could not even click in some areas (like the multi account selection when starting the app or the settings dialog that should be showing the email address, I think).

So we need to check the account reconfiguration dialog. Thanks for your quick answer :smile:
