'I tried to import the database but Set List Maker says its not a valid DB ?
Hi pgostickman (and others).
I had the same problem as you describe above, however I found a way to circumvent this. Here's how:
1. I download the file to my PC running Windows 10
2. Then I looked up the file in Explorer to change the file extension - first you have to enable / show file extensions in Explorer using the show-menu.
3. Now it appeared that the full name of the file was "PX-5S 2020-iPad.db.txt" and not "PX-5S 2020-iPad.db". Moreover, Explorer also shows that the file type is a textdocument, when it really is a database file-type.
4. So, you want to delete the .txt part of the file name to have "PX-5S 2020-iPad.db" only. Now Explorer show that the file type is a database file.
5. Next, from a clean downloaded copy (with all the pay-features of the app enabled) of the Set List Maker on the iPad, I exported the default Example Dabase to see how it is named as an exported file. In my case it was name something like "Exampledatabase 2021-04-24-10-00-00 iPad". I then renamed the "PX-5S 2020-iPad.db" file to the same format. That is, "2020-04-1 10-00-00 iPad" (as to reflect the date of the upload to the forum). However, the date and time values are not important, the format of the file-name is.
6. Now, copy the file you downloaded from this forum and renamed to the folder of Set List Maker on your iPad.
7. In the Set List Maker app, choose import database and select the file you just placed in the app folder. Then, the app prompts you and ask whether you want to overwrite the existing exampledatabase with a new one. Click yes.
And - you're good to go 😀

P.S. You can rename the database inside the Set List Maker app once it is imported - for example, to "PX-5S 2020-iPad".
