It’s not a dictatorship. You are free to leave at any time and use any other platform out there. No one is stopping you.

Without users there is no platform
And you are not nice to the users

And you are not nice to the users

You’re the one who is constantly being critical and make rude and untrue comments.

You are leading this to an off-topic discussion.

As Anke said,

@bodymindpower

This is about the new file system.

Please, open another topic with your questions, complaints or requests.

@bodymindpower

I tried to test the new file system. First of all with the File component. As soon as I drag it into the Designer, I get an error message (Firefox & Chrome): Firefox: [grafik] Chrome: [grafik]

It is also not possible to click on it (same error) and there are no Properties / permissions displayed at all. The same after reloading / refreshing (browser) multiple times.

In addition the File component does NOT declare any storage permissions (with DefaultFileScope = App ) in the Manifest.

Unfortunately, my fears came true that the AI2 bugs were not fixed. It seems to be even worse.

since some of our projects have been broken I would suggest @diego to make a backup to an old Fenix 1.5.4 else all our projects and the work we have did were the wasting of time.

@OKOK

I am having the same issue. I had over 500 blocks on screen1 of my project. And over 70% of them are gone. I had an admob banner ad component in my app and was going to remove it soon, but now, I’ve lost my almost 1 year’s progress. Is there any way to open the project aia in an older version of kodular like 1.5.3? I hope Kodular can resolve this issue soon.

everyone is crying

[Amol_Kolhe]

Every time when new update comes previously working component not work in new update,
i suggest kodular team to please cross check all features & component are working perfectly before new rollout. as we are working hard in this platform considering Kodular is part of our Carrier. because these things are very irritating.

Yeah, sometimes I feel as they don’t follow the simple rules of development as every single app developer should do:

1. Program change
2. Alpha test
3. Beta test
4. Roll out

[Xoma (Kumaraswamy)]

Yes it is a very serious issue that needs to be addressed.

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

I’m afraid that all projects containing the File component opened after the new update (Fenix 1.5.5) will be corrupted beyond repair.

So I strongly recommend making a backup of the project beforehand!

[Boban (Boban Stojmenovic)]

@bodymindpower

will be corrupted beyond repair.

Why do you think that

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

Counter question: Do you have an argument that speaks against it?

(The blocks are mostly gone or incomplete… Will they be automatically restored once the bugs have been fixed: questionable)

Therefore, I would strongly advise everyone to make a backup of their projects beforehand!

[Boban (Boban Stojmenovic)]

@bodymindpower

The blocks are mostly gone or incomplete…

It’s common if one block is faulty for some reason the whole project gets broken and that’s what it’s right now

@bodymindpower

Will they be automatically restored once the bugs have been fixed:

it remains to be seen

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

@Boban

it remains to be seen

So what’s wrong with my advice?

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

The advice is correct, necessary, helpful and I bet the blocks won’t recover.
Do you bet against it?

[Boban (Boban Stojmenovic)]

@bodymindpower

helpful and I bet the blocks won’t recover.
Do you bet against it?

I Don’t Care if they are or not

P.S since solution is in the thread I linked to

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

@Boban

I Don’t Care if they are or not

But will it be the same for those affected? I don’t think so when weeks or months of work was wasted.

@Boban

since solution is in the thread I linked to

Apparently I had overlooked this link (which possibly happens to many).
I’ll have to take a closer look at that later …

However, it doesn’t change my advice to back up the projects beforehand.

Hi,
2 things:

1. I experienced corruption of my project yesterday, due to the file component in the new 1.5.5 update. Updation of file.exists was probably the block that caused the error. I am grateful to @Boban for editing my aia and resolving the issue. All blocks were recovered and the project works fine. Here’s his solution:
   Error in 1.5.5: “The blocks area did not load properly. Changes to the blocks for screen Screen1 will not be saved" - #10 by Boban

2. The new file component adds a scope parameter. Six options: App, Asset, Cache, Legacy, Private, and Shared are present in the drop down. Also, Create directory is now a Boolean(called Make Directory), returning true/false. My limited knowledge is preventing me from using these blocks in my project.
   Could someone explain what the different scopes refer to (like what part of the path) or create a full Guide of the new File Component? Unfortunately, it seems that Kodular has forgotten to update the docs page on the updated component . I think this would be helpful for the whole community.
   Thank You.
   Also fun fact: When you hover over the old file components, they tell you to use the new ones instead.

@OKOK

Could someone explain what the different scopes refer to

For example:

Question about Files, Scopes and Android Levels (US and EU)

Search the AI2 community. I answered almost all relevant questions there regarding the new file system (File component).

Thank You!
