Potential defect?=PC keeps asking for password on existing DB
Thanks for your response. It only happens when the database is being opened from a NAS, although the PC can access the NAS normally for all other applications (e.g. I can see the Videonizer database in MS explorer or One-commander). Seems to be a problem with access permissions from this laptop to the NAS which is being reported by the videonizer app as a password issue?
It should work.
1) Please check the Windows Security Properties for your DB file on other PCs. Maybe you need to adjust permissions there. Maybe your Windows user for Videonizer has not enough privileges to access the file.
2) Have you tried to put the DB file to different disks/locations on other PCs?

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Yes, the issue is about permissions. I use a NAS drive for my videonizer DBs . NAS drives are typically formatted EXT4, not NTFS, so windows properties does not show the security tab by default (same is true for FAT, in case any other users have a similar issue). So I'm experimenting with different user permissions on the NAS, but in the short term I resolved the issue by moving the videonizer DBs (not the underlying movies which are huge) to OneDrive, and the problem went away.
One suggestion is for your code to differentiate between failure to open the DB due to file permssions as opposed to the db having a password set, which is misleading - is this possible?

I don't have a NAS, it will be difficult for me to check, but I will try.
Thank you for your post!
Just copied the database to a cloud storage, like Google Drive in my case, and made it locally available on any PC in the network. Works like a charm!dlight69 wrote: ↑04 Aug 2024, 14:32 Hi, Thanks for your reply. Yes, the issue is about permissions. I use a NAS drive for my videonizer DBs .
