Oh...
Hmm, maybe the .db file is trashed and Odyssey doesn't write to it and also cannot read it.

I'd make a backup of that .db file, delete it and then surf to a site with a password entry.
Maybe recreating the whole .db (manually unfortunately) will fix it.

I just realized that the .db file stores the passwords in human readable form :-(

If Odyssey is installed on an NGFS (as originally installed) partition, shutting down or rebooting the system without quitting Odyssey first will result in corruption of any .db files written during the current session. Unless you can get a more recent version of NGFS you should install Odyssey on an SFS2 partition.

That's why I disabled password storage a long time ago. I'm not sure but I think that unchecking "Save form credentials" and "Enable form autofill" in Odyssey "Settings/Privacy" will stop password saving.

People should also be aware that if they have "Clipviewer" set to save it's history to hard-disk, copying or cutting personal info like paswords can store them on hard-disk in human readable form.

Yup, I tried opening my passwords file in SQL Lite Manager and it displays "1654: Misuse of function!"

I'm aware that the file is human readable - indeed, since it became trashed I have replied upon that to find my old passwords. ;)

I'm not too worried about security - I think anyone other than another Amiga user would be baffled by the OS and unlikely to snoop anything out.

What i notice myself, is that when i install Odyssey on public NGFS (that one which come with x5000), then i never-ever have favicons for the sites in the tabs after i exit/run odyssey again. I can't test it on the latest NGFS at moment, but with public one there is for sure issue of this kind.

It's a known - ahem - "situation" with sqlite based software. We had the same problem a couple of years ago with Timberwolf's sqlite data and JXFS. It's not really a X5000 problem but a problem with writing in a sqlite db file with certain filesystems. I don't know much about FS technology, but this problem seem not to occur with FFS or SFS.

Sorry for off-topic, however is there any chance that we will see Odyssey 1.25 with JIT on AmigaOS? I can see it is available on MOS...

That sounds as though something was written that "worked" on FFS and SFS, but depends on undocumented FS quirks that don't exist on newer FS like NGFS. It is significant that both FFS and SFS fail the test programs for file systems, test programs that did not exist when the older FS were written.

Nope, sources of 1.25 not available, as well as JIT version developed by another person, and sources of this version also not available.

Not sure what you mean there as sqlite don't use any undocumented FS quirks, its just a port without specific amiga changes. And Odyssey's favicons (and all that slite db stuff) works not only on ffs/sfs/sfs2 on amigaos4, but also on morphos's sfs and aros's filesystems too. I can't test for now latest NGFS, but did odyssey's favicons not works on latest NGFS too, and instead of real images fallback to default ones ? If so, roots needs to be find and to be fixed

I agree, it must be fixed (if there is something wrong). Can you describe a fault? Something I can reproduce? The favicons seem to be saved OK on my system, along with all the ".db" files.

Tony, isn't this the one you fixed in 54.52?

Best regards,
