I have a strange problem with subcategory - [Solved in 3.9.5]

[nicolaas1]

Thanx

You can have a look at what happend to me, i created them all could see them, and then i changed the sorting to alphabetical titel, andesuddenly no subcats or only one.

The categories are there because the dropbox shows them,

Even if i place it back to default applicaion they don't come back, or is the sort order the first thing you need to set ?
Before creatingnanything ?

Hope this is not going to happen with files to.

I can tell you that it is a proper database.

I installed the old jdownloads 3.2.68 and it updated direct to the latest version from 3.9 i used the standard categories form 3.2.

This should not be possible as you should then see the message below.

Unless colin already changed the installer.
So i'm going to do a reinstall on another install, but i always loosing my subcategories if i say sort to alphabetic titel.
Or  do you need to set that on before creating catergories. Colin is looking at this: i gave him access to the site.

Collin,

Installed the last version but no fix for me.
Think i will go take a look at the old version, or another download system.
You should have stayed with the 3.2 series an developpe these, and not trying to integrate things, or you should have tested a lot longer, and kept it in beta.

Can you please try to make this work like it should.

Sorry.

Hi nikolaas,
I understand your displeasure.
But please note that we have over two years worked on this new release. We had 6 public beta releases which could test interested users over more as 11 months! jDownloads is an Open Source product and is dependent on the support and feedback of the users. But we have never get posted a problem like yours (or a problem from some other users in the last days). Never! So we are very surprised and disappointed.

I have now decided to stop all updates to the new version for the time being. This is valid until we could finally solve all new problems reported here and a corresponding new version is available. However, this may take some time. There are far fewer problems with new installations and the errors reported so far will be corrected in the short term.

Colin works on a short manual to give users instructions how it is possible to go back to the old version 3.2.x. I think it should be published tomorrow.

Sorry.

Ok. Do you still need my test site ? Else i delete it.
