most of my titles have gone blank due to the new update about taiga HOT 9 CLOSED

It seems like Taiga's local anime database got corrupted somehow. Could you send me these two files so I can take a look?

• Taiga\data\db\anime.xml
• Taiga\data\user\<username>\anime.xml

from taiga.

i'm sending the files via gmail

from taiga.

Here is how to reproduce the bug.
Close Taiga.
Delete Taiga\data\db\anime.xml
Open Taiga. Empty titles can be seen. Scroll to bottom and proper titles may be seen. If taiga is closed now, empty entries with only an id can be found in the database xml file.

Here is a quick fix for users:
Close taiga.
Delete both Taiga\data\db\anime.xml and Taiga\data\user\anime.xml (the files are now found in appdata rather than program files).
Open taiga and press synchronize.

The empty entries found in Taiga\data\db\anime.xml do not go away unless this is done, that is restarts and synchronize won't fix it.

So what happens in this particular case is empty entries get added to the database. First Taiga\data\db\anime.xml is read (is actually empty so database is empty). Then user list xml is read. The id found in userlist xml is set as ktaiga id. In UpdateItem() of anime_db.cpp a new empty item will be added to database since item has no kmyanimelist or khummingbird id. The generate ids here is why the invalid entries' ids are in sequential order.

I should also note that there is a separate issue that has been reported in MAL forum to do with blank titles showing for anime with no English name with the show english titles setting. This issue is probably the most prevalent issue for users, not corrupt databases.

Have you previously tinkered with the database, modified it manually or deleted it? If so, that's expected. Normally, any anime in user's list definitely exists in the local anime database, so this kind of issue never happens.

Deleting the files I and @zotchii mentioned and restarting Taiga indeed fixes the issue. I was trying to figure out why they got corrupted in the first place, which is why I asked to examine them.

no seriously man got enough problems on my plate no time for tinkering and
upon restarting the application it goes entirely blank so i have to delete
and synchronise everytime i start

If you have the Display English titles, if available option enabled, try disabling it from Settings → Application → Anime list. I've fixed this issue and will distribute the patch tomorrow.

This issue is fixed as of v1.1.5.
