Updated software

This is about as half-assed as it gets, only because I'm too lazy to take the time to figure out how to tell a setup distributable to create start menu entries.

Anyhow, someone wrote a patch awhile back (like a year ago) to fix sync problems with large LJs. I finally got around to sticking it in the source and recompiling the application into a distributable package. It just requires .NET 1.1.

If anyone knows how I can put it on SourceForge, that'd be great, since I don't want to use my own server's bandwidth indefinitely for this.

But for the time being, download it here:

http://www.shifuimam.com/lja/setup.msi

Or, if you already have it installed, just download this:

http://www.shifuimam.com/lja/ljarchive.zip

And extract the contents into Program Files\LJArchive\.

I'd say let me know if you have any problems, but I'm not actually a developer, so I doubt I can help.

Have fun!

Thank you very much for this update. I hadn't been able to sync my journal since I installed Vista, and this patch works. Very appreciated. =)

hey, you don't know me but (like everyone else on LJ) I'm attempting to backup my LJ. did the programs download correctly for you in vista? I thought it was working but then I keep getting errors about needing to check some encoding box in my personal information? a bit clueless I am, any advice would be appreciated! thanks :)

Hi. =) It only worked on Vista once.. To backup my LJ afterwards I had to run it from an XP platform. I didn't manage to figure out why it refuses to work on Vista, but then there's a lot of stuff that doesn't. Sorry I can't be of help.

I managed to figure it out (how, I'll never know, haha), but thanks! :)

Hi:

I've uninstalled the original install, updated my .net framework then reinstalled your setup .. yet I'm still getting exactly the same error:

System.Data.ConstraintException: Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.
at System.Data.DataSet.FailedEnableConstraints()
at System.Data.DataSet.EnableConstraints()
at System.Data.DataSet.set_EnforceConstraints(Boolean value)
at System.Data.DataTable.EndLoadData()
at EF.ljArchive.Engine.Sync.Merge(Journal j, EventCollection ec, CommentCollection cc, UserMapCollection umc, SyncItemCollection deletedsic, LoginResponse lr, String communityPicURL, DateTime lastSync)
at EF.ljArchive.Engine.Sync.ThreadStart()

I am SO frustrated!!

I get the error if I try to do a full backup (my lj, a comm I moderate both with comments or if I try to just do my lj (either with or without comments!)

I'm using XP and everything us current and updated.

Post the error in a new post and see if someone can help.

Unfortunately, I'm not even close to an application developer; I just took someone else's patch and recompiled the application with it...so I'm of no use. Sorry!!

Did you ever get any response to this query? I have exactly the same problem!

No, I never did.

I've found someone providing a patch here:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=E1J34aG-0007r5-9b%40sc8-sf-web23.sourceforge.net&forum_name=ljarchive-patches

sadly I have no idea how to follow this advice.

Cracked it! If you have userpics with the same tag but different capitalisation it breaks LJArchive - and you have one userpic tagged "Just kiss me" and another tagged "Just Kiss me", so that's the problem.

Thanks for sharing every detail, I wouldn't want something like that to happen to me, my job depends on Outlook, I can't afford any issues. Didn't that have any effect on your computer files, have you had any trouble with any dll file extension (http://dll.paretologic.com/index.php)? I need the details so that I know how to prevent it from happening.
