Local Provider, App Data, ect

Discussion
1

Had a few questions about the local Provider and the app data.

  1. let’s say i have a file named (x), and i delete it, would i regain the data again if i get a different file with the same name? do i need to back up first & restore after?

  2. so all my files are in a certain big folder, if i move my files to a new folder, would i lose my app data?

  3. what are the things not to do to not lose the app data? because recently i batch renamed all my files and lost all the data i had which was unfortunate, so i want to be as secure as possible. i would highly be appreciated.

and sorry if my questions were obvious :folded_hands:t4:

For local provider the key is the filepath.

So if you rename or move the file the data is lost.

You can backup the data, edit the user_data.json with search and replace and restore the data if you move all to another folder.

I’ve an issue with user_data.json, which is unfortunately heavily incomplete for me, exposing not even 1/100 of my library, since it only exports tracks with any of playCount|lastSkipped|resumePoint|etc > 0 or not null.
Is it currently possible with Symfonium to export the entire music database from all providers?
