Do you have a SQLite file from before the problem started happening? Am kind of thinking it sounds like maybe the on-disk format or encryption options being used by the Signal application may have changed. If an older SQLite file still opens, that would confirm the difference is in the file format in some way. If it doesn't though, then it sounds like something has changed with your system in an unexpected way? |

Ahhh. It looks like you've been using a nightly build of 3.13.x successfully for a while, and the recent (?) nightly builds are what's stopped working. That does potentially sound like something we changed could have mucked things up then. Do you still have any of the older builds around, and do they work? If we can narrow down exactly when it stopped working, then that'll massive help us figure out what change we made broke things. If it helps, we have an archive of nightly builds here: https://nightlies.sqlitebrowser.org <-- pick the sub-directory that matches the builds you use. ie. win32 or win64 |
