Not downloading filtered content

[Saortica]

Describe the bug
DFR has ceased downloading any NSFW content for me, whether hosted on reddit or redgifs (with 3.16.1).
This occurs in both 3.16.0 and 3.16.1.
Have verified can download SFW images.
Reddit account is set up for filtered content. Can access through Reddit website, app, and other API apps (like Infinity+ for android).
Have re-connected DFR to this account. No change.
DFR logs the images/videos in the database Post view, with extracted = "True" for most of the ones attempted, but there are no or very few actual files downloaded.

Check the user settings and make sure the NSFW Filter is set to either INCLUDE or ONLY.

If that setting is correct try this: go to File > Settings and uncheck the Multi-Part Download checkbox.

I can't see any other reason that you would be encountering this issue.

[Saortica]

I see! It seems that the Master list is stuck on "Exclude". When I try and change it, I can select "Include" or "Only", however it doesn't stick. Whether I hit apply or OK, the downloads still fail, and going back into settings, the setting is still "Exclude".

In addition, none of the settings in the Master list seem to stay "stuck" if I change and apply. For example, Download Image, Video and GIFs are unselected, and won't stay selected. I must admit I've never actually used the master list settings, as I set up all lists independently. So I don't know if this behaviour has been persistent for a long time or just recently, or if it is relevant..

I checked that the settings file in appdata wasn't read only - it isn't.

I also moved the settings file out of the appdata folder so that it regenerated on next app opening, and rejigged essential settings. No change.

In the individual lists, NSFW, download Image, Video and GIFs are all selected, and stick.

I could uncheck the multipart download checkbox. It didn't change the situation.

I appreciate your help. Could this be some kind of database corruption? Any further ideas? Thank you.

[MalloyDelacroix]

When you make changes to the lists, is the checkbox at the top that says "Cascade changes" checked? If this checkbox is checked, when you save changes made to a list, the change is "cascaded" down to all users/subreddits in the list. If it is unchecked, the changed settings only apply to users/subreddits added to the list after that.

[Saortica]

Thanks, trying that on and off didn't seem to change things.

I have tried moving my database out and allowed a new one to be created. This seem to fix the issue (with all the same settings).

My old database is useful in terms of incremental updates for subreddits/users. If there are a couple of pointers regarding where I might edit or check the settings in the database in the viewer or an SQL, I'd appreciate that. (I assume list settings are kept in the database, as I can't see them for individual lists in the config file?)

[MalloyDelacroix]

You can use DB Browser for SQLite tool to view and modify the SQLite database. I would recommend making a backup copy of your database before you open it in the browser and to be careful of the values you change. Modifying the database file directly can cause unexpected behavior in the app.

The table you are looking for is called "reddit_object", and the column should be "download_nsfw". Most of the text columns with capitalized words take enum values. The ones for that column are "INCLUDE", "EXCLUDE", and "ONLY".

[Saortica]

Thanks for your help. I can't find anything in the database that suggests why this is happening. I will start again with a new database.

Can consider this issue unresolved (but likely some random quirk) and closed.

Sorry as this isn't to do with the problem, but since I just discovered the DB editing, can I safely rename lists in a tool like DB Browser? Even reorder them? This is something that is troublesome since I keep about 15 lists and sometimes want to change them. I haven't found a way to do so in the interface. Thanks.
