Issue with the mushclient_prefs.sqlite

Hello!

So, this problem is with OneDrive. However, I know as soon as I call Microsoft they're going to try and pin the blame on MUSHclient. It makes sense to see if I can deal with the issue on my level before escalating to that nonsense.

I've moved my MUSHclient install to my OneDrive in order to have access across devices.

It took awhile, but everything has synced up. Almost.

There's still the mushclient_prefs.sqlite file that has the little blue arrows that indicate it's being synced. It's been this way for over three days, and several reboots of the OneDrive service for other issues.

I even tried manually uploading the file to the OneDrive web interface, but, even though the upload was successful, it didn't sync the issue. I'm wondering if there's a safe way to remove the file and get it back.

Right now, I'm thinking of copying, deleting, and re-pasting. But I'm not sure if that will mess with the integrity of the sqlite file.

Any help is much appreciated.

Is the client open when you try to sync?

Have you tried all of these suggestions?

I hope this doesn't matter. I can read the prefs db just fine while MUSHclient is open.

I don't know if it matters or not. I can see that auto-syncing software might not want to copy a database file while it is open.

I hadn't no. Wasn't getting my notifications and didn't realize someone had responded. I have one thing I want to try first. I installed MUSHclient on my OneDrive to sync across devices, but, for some reason, it still wants to work from my program files. I think if I uninstall it and get it to stop doing that, everything should be okay.
