Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus a few years ago, maintaining it ever since. I currently work for Nextcloud
which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
To continue the development and maintenance of this project in a sustainable way it is expected that you donate to the project when opening a ticket,
if you're not a donor already. You can find donation options at https://floccus.org/donate/. Thank you!

One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the Nextcloud forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

Can you remember what you did before this error was displayed?

Also, can you go to settings and generate a debug log file? Can be redacted. Would be interesting to read.

I think I added folders/subfolder in the app.

[marcelklehr]

mmmh. Works fine for me.

[marcelklehr]

I tried

1. Create folder "Test" in root of android app with a WebDAV profile
2. Create folder "Test" inside "Test" folder
3. Create bookmark "Test" inside "Test"
4. Sync with merge strategy
5. Everything worked.

v 5.3.1

if found out, that the error did occur with bookmarks.html
sync with bookmarks.xbel worked

After deleting bookmarks.html on the server, syncing bookmarks.html works.

After making some changes as .html , then switching to xbel again, syncing as bookmarks.xbel now returns an error : Failed to map parentid: 6

So the switching between xbel and html for testing, seems to cause the trouble.
So I guess that is not recommended.

v5.3.1

Can you try updating to v5.4.1 ? A lot of bugs have been fixed since v5.3.1

[marcelklehr]

So the switching between xbel and html for testing, seems to cause the trouble.

I see. The cache needs to be reset when changing the file to sync with, I think. I'll implement that.
