Hi @robingenz,

The problem here is that the functional change is not possible at the moment because the library always modifies the database path. Do you have any other ideas on how we can proceed to solve this issue?

Thank you for your help!

@richardliebmann What do you mean by "functional change"?

Hi @robingenz,

The behaviour changed in a previous version, so an upgrade is not currently possible for us because the selected database location no longer works and would break our app. This change may have occurred around 2022, so it may only affect us and not other users. I hope that we can create a workaround so that we can upgrade without having to create a fork.

Thank you for your help!

@richardliebmann Please share the issue or commit where this change happened. I will take a look then.

Hi @robingenz,

It looks like my college has only created this behaviour in our fork. Sorry for bothering you! We will then integrate the solution into our fork and use it instead.

Thank you for your help!
