Just tried this under macOS Tahoe (on an M2 Mac), and when I try to launch VVV I get: "The application VVV is damaged. You should move it to the trash." Any chance VVV will be updated?

@fsenore I opened a ticket yesterday requesting Apple Silicon-native binary. Apparently, there is no way to reply to that ticket so I figured I'd respond to you here: You mentioned it would be difficult because of an incompatibility in the current codebase. If ever that incompatibility were resolved, would you please reply to the feature request ticket I created or here (I'm subscribed to both threads) to let me know? If/when that happens, I'll be happy to compile the app for m-chip, test, and help/contribute...
-
I do not have access to such a Mac so I cannot create those binaries for myself. The program is open source so somebody could volunteer such a build. Anyway, there is a problem with the current database engine that is not available for M-chips, so such a task would be rather difficult.

Helllo Fulvio, I downloaded VVV-1.5.0.3-Setup.exe and tried the following two commands "D:\VVV (Virtual Volumes View)\vvv.exe" -s "Profiles\Settings.ini" -d "Profiles" -u -v "C" -vp "C:\" "D:\VVV (Virtual Volumes View)\Profiles\Catalog.vvv" "D:\VVV (Virtual Volumes View)\vvv.exe" -u -v "C" -vp "C:\" "D:\VVV (Virtual Volumes View)\Profiles\Catalog.vvv" I received the errors displayed in attachments 1.png and 2.png.

Since the last release I have created a temporary release of VVV with better handling of command line arguments. You can download it from here: www.fsoft.it/temp/VVV-1.5.0.3-Setup.exe May you install it and check if you get a more meaningful message error? Fulvio

Hello, I've just downloaded and tried VVV, but I have a couple of questions that I can't figure out! An error occurred while updating the Catalog via the command line: Unexpected parameter 'Volumes'. D:\VVV (Virtual Volumes View)\vvv.exe -s "Profiles\Settings.ini" -d "Profiles" -u -v "C" -vp "C:\" "D:\VVV (Virtual Volumes View)\Profiles\Catalog.vvv" How to specify a relative path when specifying a Catalog file, e.g. Profiles\Catalog.vvv? How to display folder size? The capacity displayed in Object...

The 'Open Anywhere' setting has remained active for me until now (since your post), even after switching the mac on and off. Thanks again for the workaround. +1

Another user fixed the problem. Here are his instructions. OK - Following seems to work and survives a restart. Order appears to be vital: Start point is a clean install of VVV and getting a ‘Dock’ error message. If you are at the ‘Corrupted’ point I guess you can skip to point ‘3’ but I didn’t try that. In the terminal type the following: 1. codesign --remove-signature /Applications/VVV.app —> Press Enter 2. codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/VVV.app —> Press Enter 3. Open up System...

Firebird server will be installed on VPS in my local LAN. VVV should be working on local PC with database in v3 format, when I set connection to "server" and set "localhost" ? Of course firebird server must be first running locally. What type of firebird server is appropriate: Classic mode , SuperClassic or SuperServer ? It's nessesery to create vvv database structure before importing backup ? Regards Krzysztof

Do you know that you must install the firebird server only if you want to share catalogs among many computers connected by a LAN? For a single computer VVV contains an embedded version fo Firebird that is enough. If you want you can install version 2.1 from this link: https://www.firebirdsql.org/en/firebird-2-1/ but the software is not packaged as a deb file. The steps to create a V3 database are the following: 1 - Run the standalone VVV package and create a database. 2 - Create a backup with the...

It's possible to create new database with structure compatibile with Firebird 3.0 ? As database server I use Linux Mint 21.3 (based on Ubuntu 22.04), where only Firebird 3.0 is avaliable.

UPDATE: These commands didn't work on an iMac with Intel CPU, but did work on a Mac Studio with Apple Silicon. Same macOS version. Don't know how but just tried and verified.
-
Thanks fratello, for the help, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. After I executed the terminal commands, now the app gives me this error message. I uninstalled and installed the app, tried the commands again, with no luck.
-
Yay. Thank you very much for your help. It's working again.

I agree that the current search function is lacking in this context. The ability to define phrases to be matched exactly using " would be nice. Alternatively, if the underlying programming language supports them, the possibility to use regular expressions, maybe with the / flag like in Javascript , say /Inuyasha (S?)\d{1,2}[EX]\d{2}.*/i matching "INUYASHA 2x30.mkv", "Inuyasha s02e09 [h264 AAC Dual].mkv" , but not "Inuyasha the tale of a sicken demon dog.fanfic.txt" ... In Java regexp are part of...

It looks like it's a new security requirement: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/finder-does-not-have-permission-to-open-null.2441374/ It looks like it's caused by missing code signing: you can find a solution in post #8. In short: in the terminal type the following two lines. codesign --remove-signature /Applications/VVV.app codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/VVV.app I don't have such a mac so I was not able to test it.
-
I have the same problem under MacOS 15.1. Same error message and warning window. When I try to start the program in the terminal, I get this error.
-
I have no idea about the cause of this problem, but it looks like you clicked a dock icon to start the program. Have you tried to start it clicking the icon in the Applications folder?
-
I'm having the following error when trying to open the app after OS update: The application '"Dock" does not have permission to open "(null)." Has someone have a solution for this? I'm relying on this great app for indexing and cataloging but am I having a great risk here? Thanks for any inputs.

I build VVV in Linux Mint 19.2. I thought that it was an old enough version. You can search if you can install the newer GLIBC in your computer, or you can build VVV from source. Good luck. Fulvio
-
I'm getting the following error when I run VVV. I'm on Linux Mint 18.3 and the GLIBC on that is at 2.23. Is there anything I can do? ./vvv: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by ./vvv)

Option "Compare Volumes"
-
Hello, and sorry for the delay. I think that I could add a command to compare two different physical volumes (or folders). Then I could show a list of the different files contained in the two folders. It should not be a very complicated task. About metadata, maybe you are not aware of vvvP (https://vvvp.sourceforge.net/). I am a photographer too, so I designed it to handle images.

Sorry for the delay. I have looked at the source code and the program already ignores symlinks: they are stored as 0-byte files. I made that change in 2008 with revision 262: "Now the program stores symlinks to files or folders as zero length files, instead of deferencing the link.". Since you wrote in an email that you have experience working with C toolchains maybe building the program and debugging it with the volume that causes problems might be a good solution. Please let me know if you need...

Thanks again for your patience, yes, I sent you an email tonight with a screen recording of some new behavior/errors. -Nick

Hello Nick, did you receive the email that I sent you on May 13?
-
Changed version to 1.5.0.2.

Added checks for command line correctness.

Hmm, interesting. Sure, I'd be happy to help test a new release. If you want, you can email me: archivist.goals@gmail.com Thanks for taking an interest in this! -Nick
-
Looking at your last screenshots I noticed that now the error message is different: it is about a missing catalog name and not a missing file. Looking at the source code, that error should happen if the program has not received a catalog name. That does not make sense so maybe there is a problem with parsing the command line. I might prepare a new version with better handling of the command line parsing, just to see if there are problems. Are you interested in testing it?
-
fsenore: Any further thoughts or suggestions?

Yes, I tried just now. New CMD instance running as administrator. Still the same error. See screenshot. Also including screenshot of the VVV catalog. As you see, I have C , then the other drives. Only C and Drive D are internal. The others were external drives. I'm running Windows 11 Pro. Again, running this command works and opens up the GUI: "C:\Program Files (x86)\VVV (Virtual Volumes View)\vvv.exe" "C:\VVVCatalogs.vvv" The other one, even with CMD in Admin mode, fails. Strange, indeed. If you...

I recently did a clean install of Windows. And this time around chose a more suitable user name without special characters. Testing everything again, with the following catalog location and argument did work and opened the catalog GUI, yes: C:\VVVCatalogs.vvv And with this argument: "C:\Program Files (x86)\VVV (Virtual Volumes View)\vvv.exe" "C:\VVVCatalogs.vvv" However, I can not get the argument for updating a volume to work, using this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\VVV (Virtual Volumes View)\vvv.exe"...

I was just looking at your problem. I checked and everything worked well: I was able to update a volume from the command line. I was able to get the same error message as yours when I forgot to close VVV: it was in execution as a GUI program. VVV locks the catalog file so if you try to open the same catalog with another instance of the program you get a "catalog not found error". That error is a generic I/O error: it is usually caused by a wrong filename but it can also be caused by a permission...

Hey there - did you have a chance to look at this further? Thanks.

Updated the copyright year to 2024.
-
Changed version to 1.5.0.1.

Fixed: when adding the same physical folders to different virtual folders the virtual folders structure could be corrupted.
-
Updated the Portuguese translation.

No worries. Please let me know what you find out. Thanks!
-
I am leaving for holidays and I will be back on April 8. Then I will make some tests.
-
Thanks - I thought about that with the # character (poor choice during initial Windows setup) Giving it full access in C:\ requires having full ownership of C:\ and, from what I understand, might cause system instability. So, rather not do that. I also have Drive D. Placing the catalog, DriveD.vvv in D:\ is still not recognized, same error. Not sure what else to try.

Maybe the problem is in the "#" character in the database path. I would try putting the database in a simpler path like "C:\VVVCatalogs" and giving it full access rights, just to see if it works. Fulvio

Hey Fulvio, thank you. I ran the the first command you suggested and the file name is, indeed, correct. Without any errors. Running the second command you suggested, I still receive the following error, "Catalog not found" Not sure why this happens. In the catalog file. I have multiple drives listed, including Drive C. So, not sure why this error persists. -Nick

You can check that the file name is correct by entering the following line in a command prompt: dir "C:\" "C:\Users\Nick-PC#2\Desktop\VVVCatalogDatabase.vvv" and checking for errors. Another possibility is that the executable, when ran from the task scheduler, does not have access to the catalog file. May you try using the command line "C:\Program Files (x86)\VVV (Virtual Volumes View)\vvv.exe" -u -v "C" -vp "C:\" "C:\Users\Nick-PC#2\Desktop\VVVCatalogDatabase.vvv" to see if it works? Fulvio
-
This is directed at Fulvio: Hi there - I am trying to automate VVV so that I can use Windows' built in Task Scheduler to open a script periodically and have that update Cataloged volume files. Basically, I am looking for a way to use VVV to update snapshots of already-cataloged volumes (Drives). So, for Drive C, run a VVV command and update that volume with any new changes made to the Drive (entire C:\ directory) since the last run of VVV. I keep running into, "This catalog file does not exist" even...

Thank You Fulvio. That was the solution. Great program BTW.

The configuration file is named ".VVV" and it is located in the user's home directory. It is a hidden file. You can open it with a text editor: look at the "Settings/DatabaseServer" section and change ConnectToServer=0 Fulvio

Hello, I have installed VVV catalog on Linux Mint and it was working fine. I installed Firebird on my Qnap but after activating the server connection, I can't go back. When I open ./vvv-start.sh I get an SQL error. I can only open vvv-start.sh as root. REmoved the complete directory and reinstalled VVV but still the same. Can you tell me where the VVV config file on Linux is located so I can start from scratch? Thank you. Tom

When searching for (e.g.) "this is a test", the search results include every file with "this" in the title, OR "is" in the title, OR "a" in the title, etc. This makes it very difficult to search for anything more complex than a single word. It would be great if the search could be made to use the full string at once, for example by using a quoted string (just like e.g. Google does). Or it could be using syntax like "this AND is AND a AND test" (again like Google)
-
Hi there. As mentioned by email a few weeks ago (sorry for the delay!), I tried cataloging an external HD, and it ended with errors "(error 2: No such file or directory)". All the files mentioned in the errors are broken symlinks. At the end of the scan, the folder information for the root of the catalog says it contains 1500 GB, but the OS says that the disk contains 1800 GB. So I suspect that the errors caused the catalog to be incomplete. So it would be great to have an option so that VVV would...

Not at the moment. It would require a large amount of work and I am not sure that MySql has an embedded version to ship with the program.
