Blog URL does not appear to add to manager (with test url!) #355

Well!

Lets jump right in: https://strappedown.tumblr.com/

This URL does not produce any effect in the application window. Once paste in to that input box, it appears to just swallow it silently. The only effect I can see is the creation of the folder (completely empty) in the downloads folder.

strappedown_files.tumblr from the Index folder. https://privatebin.net/?4505cb02fcd83c85#5pot1s1d7jXFX2PLEv9xI4lEaXGBtFkNxChZCSiX14Q= (Excessive amounts of content and data like file paths I'm putting on PvB)

Environment: image Also, I am using a proxy.

PS zomg App logs would be awesome. please for sanity's sake, add a app debug.log! It took me forever to realize my version (since updated) was affected by #311 et al.

PPS I hope that it was ok to to assume you'll take issues with nsfw content. Based on 90% of open issues, it looked liked you wanted people to be specific. So, here I am! If I'm wrong, delete the issue and ban this user. No harm done.

Works for me just like every other blog as well. I copied the URL via the context menu in chrome from this post, TumblThree's clipboard monitor picked it up, I could immediately download it:

tumblthree_strappeddown

Maybe you can remove the corresponding index files from the Blogs\Index folder while TumblThree is closed, and try to re-add it?

johanneszab commented 5 years ago

I'll close this, because I can add the blog in question. Thus it doesn't seem to be a general issue with the software.

And for the logging, there are already tickets open for this (e.g. #128).

Hi @johanneszab , thanks for checking.

Ok lets look at this a different way. What are the conditions that would cause the app to fail silently? What is it about the add to blog manager operation that would start the "setup" and folder creation but fail to make it into the list control?

Also, re logging, this doesn't have to be "fancy". Do you have a debug build that even just spits out method entry and event processing to the console? I (we?) would at lease be able to tell how far down the stack it gets before getting wonky. (I can only get so far, I don't have a debugger on this machine).

Also does my environment make sense? Is the app known to work well on Win7, with .net 4, etc?

MrRandoMan commented 5 years ago

@johanneszab reopen?

elipriaulx commented 5 years ago

I am relatively sure I have experienced this with other blogs, and the only way I was able to make them work was to remove them from the list, delete all the files, and restart TumblThree. I can't reproduce in Debug (yet!) but I am keeping an eye out for it. Please update if you find a pattern or procedure to reproduce this.

johanneszab commented 5 years ago

I've never had this happening, but if you both say it's a thing, we can reopen it. It either adds the blog completely, or sometimes nothing happens at all if I trigger the clipboard monitor (which is probably related to #380). However, judging from the amount of users here that seem to fix issues by removing their settings, maybe it is even related to an unsuccessful serialization.

As for the second part, I do see that TumblThree is lacking logging, especially now that there are many new, not so computer savvy users, it would have been a great feature, but as I've said, there are already open tickets for it.

elipriaulx commented 5 years ago

I have been considering logging a bit at the moment. I'm still not across the ideology and stuff yet but do intend to add it if no one beats me to it ^^. There is another issue open for a console output type window to list what is going on - I thought it would tie in well with that - we could use the same interface.
