Core dump when opening some pdfs

[dunhill52]

On the development branch [84030b7], I'm unable to open some documents. It seems there is a problem retrieving information from the database. Launched from the command line I get the following error :

ggterminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error' what(): basic_string: construction from null is not valid Aborted (core dumped)

I know nothing about gdb and here what I managed to extract from the core dump:

I tried to delete some tables and even the databases but it keeps coming back. Strangely enough, the shared database doesn't seems to affect another computer where the documents do open fine.

I hope it helps. Feel free to ask for more information if needed.

PS: I absolutely loves the features of sioyek, many are very innovative and so useful.

Did you use a previous sioyek version prior to using the development branch? If so, you need to move the previous database files into a different location and migrate them using this script: https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek/discussions/1156#discussioncomment-10614340.

You are totally right and I apologize for not checking thoroughly on my side.

Here was the problem : two computers with a shared database, my main computer is on the dev branch (git version of the AUR package), but my laptop is on the stable branch.

I guess I started using the stable branch for a few days and, along my journey to learn more about sioyek and curious about the new features, I updated one of the computers and cleaned its databases. But I forgot the other computer was on the main branch and probably, I then shared the one database with the previous format. Something on that line. Doh!

Keep the good work, really appreciated.
