Archive works when imported, but not when exported #129

Open b0rd opened 1 year ago

Windows, standalone ArchiveWeb and ReplayWeb. I like to download my web archives as their own files, as it works better with the way I organize things on my computer. The problem is, when downloading the web app Sandspiel Studio, the recorded version works completely fine when still "attached" to ArchiveWeb, but exporting it to a file and playing it back only gives a blank screen. Interestingly enough, if I then re-import that archive and play it from there, it works again. I have a feeling it's to do with the fact I'm trying to play it from another drive (archiveweb is on drive C, much of my files are on drive E. Trying to play back the exported archive from a location on drive C still doesn't work, however.)

Also, I originally had the standard version of Sandspiel saved, and when updating my archive of it I overwrote the file, only to discover the Studio page simply wasn't there, despite the file clearly being larger. Deleting the cache from ReplayWeb fixed this, but not my current issue.

Hard to say what the issue is without looking at the archive. If you can attach a WACZ file, or send via email, we can then take a further look.

Sorry for the late reply, but I've managed to solve this issue by deleting any data related to ArchiveWeb/ReplayWeb from appdata. I have a feeling this means the "table of contents" for web archives are cached somewhere based on their file path, for... some reason. But a complete reinstall fixes it.
