ARDB fix for auto update of .csv files and image hosting.

The problem with Pascal's HttB stuff is that the file MUST end in a newline, pretty much, just put a blank line at the end of vtessets.csv.

Actually, same goes for all the .csv files - they have to end with a blank line.

I'd strongly recommend that anyone who wants to edit these .csv files uses a Diff tool (like P4Merge) to compare their changed version with the original.

Oh, and if you ever get any import errors with ARDB, you have to close ARDB, reopen it, import a working vtescsv.zip, close ARDB, reopen it. THEN you can import your (possibly) fixed modified csv.zip. Even though that message pops up about "Rolling back to prevent database corruption" it's a lie. It misses cleaning up something, and you'll have problem on subsequent imports until you reopon ARDB and import successfully.

Updated files with a blankline
For example, the last line of vtessets.csv is:

"HttB","20100203","Heirs to the Blood","White Wolf"\r\n
\r\n

Now seems to work fine

thanks

Interestingly, "update from Internet" didn't work, but "update from local file" after downloading the .zip worked. (ARDB 3.1.1)

really? I've win 7 on my laptop and win xp on my desktop and yesterday when I open my ardb 3.1.1 on both PCs (after reading your post) I find a pop up who let me know "new version bla bla bla", I chose to update and it works without problem

Hi! Great job, worked perfectly on Mac.

To edit the ardb.ini on mac, do this:

1) Go to Applications folder on Finder.
2) Right click on ARDB.app and select "Show package contents"
3) Go to the folder Contents/Resources. The ardb.ini is listed there.
4) Edit the file as you should do in Windows and save.
5) Run ARDB again and try to update the database.
6) Smile.
