Hello Silverjuke guys. Thank you very much for really nice program (the best I have found).
I would like to try new functions in 1.15 version, but neither 1.14b4 nor 1.14b5 work at my computer. Here is problem I have after starting Silverjuke (only beta versions).

11/10/2005 17:55:37: unable to open database file
11/10/2005 17:55:37: Cannot open "C:/Documents and Settings/xandrew/Data aplika/Silverjuke/mymusic.db"

Can you please tell us which operating system you use? (the problem seems to be the character "í" which tells the underlaying sqlite database server to open the file in unicode mode, if possible; so maybe the detection of the operating system is not really perfect)

EDIT:

I have to correct myself: The problem is not the character "í". The problem is, that the underlaying sqlite system things it can use unicode but, in fact, it cannot. However, your operating system would be of interest to fix this in the next beta-release.

This happends during starting Silverjuke 1.15. But there was no problem with v1.14.
My operating system is WinXP Pro - Czech version. Do you think I is caused by problem with database system you use (sqlite)?
Unfortunately, I can't change the location of database.

We've upgraded from sqlite 3.2.1 (used in Silverjuke 1.14) to 3.2.7 (used in newer beta-versions), the old sqlite version always used the Window 95/98 file functions, the newer sqlite version uses the Windows NT/2000/XP file functions, if possible. This is the problem, maybe we'll just switch back to the old API until we have a proper solution.

I think the name and the location has nothing to do with the problem (see the EDIT: above). By the way, you can use another database using the command line switch "--db=<file>" eg. Silverjuke.exe --db=c:test.db - you may try this out, however, I do not believe that this will solve the problem.

I have used your suggestion and it works. I had to use path without long name (it means with ...~1), but it is OK now.
But my opinion is, that it is not the best solution for end users.
I'm looking forward to new version.

Thank you very much for your help! Now, we know (hopefully) everything about the problem to fix it. You can expect a new beta-version soon.

Thank you, everything is absolutely OK!
