Local sources doesn't load

[jareddo-kun]

Steps to reproduce

1. Open 'Browse -> Local source'

Expected behavior

Local files should appear in the library or source

Actual behavior

Local files doesn't show up

Crash logs

No response

Tachiyomi version

1.9.3

Android version

Android 13

Device

Vivo Y35 (V2205)

Other details

Connected to #857
I already cleared the database. Reinstalled the app. Installing on other device. Doesn't work.

Seems like only an SY issue. The original and J2K versions are working.
Might be because of Scoped storage and the "Manage all files" permission is granted on both apps (SY doesn't appear to have that feature when I was going to grant it on device settings)

SY doesn't do anything different from main Tachi in regards to storage permissions, from my tests LocalSource works fine

Local sources don't load for me either. Just did a clean reinstall after clearing data and restored backup. No local manga found

Seems to be Sy issue only, can provide video proof if needed

Hmm, that's weird. Shouldn't SY work as intended on end device if so? Because it doesn't on both SDK 28 and 33

Recording for reference

Library manga that were part of local don't appear. If I remove an existing local manga from library, it vanishes completely (and unable to add back, since local doesn't load). Cleared database before and after adding new manga, no effect

At least something loads in your device?

Here's a view of an entry imported from a backup file.

And this is the local source. There should be 9 entries.

The local manga that 'loads' was added to library today, so it wasn't part of old backup. Anything that's been around previously don't load no matter what. So it appearing on Latest is an outlier for the most part

Do you have local manga backed up? The appear to vanish when you add them to library.

Here are steps to reproduce the issue

1. Have existing library with local manga (restored from backup)
2. Local source doesn't load
3. Remove all local from library
4. Clear database
5. Move local folder to another location on device
6. Move back local folder to Sy (now local source loads again). Don't restore backup.
7. Add a local manga to library (local source doesn't load)

If you don't have local manga in backup, you can't reproduce the bug.

Oh my god, I have never felt so dumb before this.

My problem can be solved by using the SY folder instead of the original tachiyomi folder 🤦

The difference between how J2K handled local files was it scans the the original tachiyomi folder (from both local and sd) and create thumbnails in the j2k folder. Would be very helpful if SY does this instead of using a completely separate folder 👍

Anyways, once I fixed it earlier, i tried replicating the bug that jferdous mentioned. I can replicate the bug in my part, too.

Welp, I was searching everywhere to fix this too and...

Turns out I was also putting things in the "Tachiyomi" folder instead of "TachiyomiSY". Feels dumb!

[jobobby04]

Going to assume this is fixed with the upcoming changes to load source file handling
