Ahoi,

I've managed to break somehow my transfers list. It currently shows 3 items: a failed mail fetch and two file downloads. Trying to delete these items individually or all at once (via pulley menu) doesn't make them disappear. Additionally, new downloads don't appear in this list and I also get no notification about them being completed.

Is there a way to reset the transfer list from command line (e.g. editing/deleting some kind of db file)?

Additional info: The entry about mail failure just shows "failed" and a small e-mail app icon right to it. I assume it is related to my attempt to connect to a mail box (provider GMX), where while creating the account I accidentally didn't do a "manual setup" but just entered my e-mail address and password. Unfortunately, this led to a POP3 access, so that upon account creation finish all my inbox e-mails were downloaded to my phone. After deleting all these mails from the device I just changed the server type to "IMAP4" and entered the corresponding server address. The next mail fetch attempt failed, leaving the above mentioned message in the transfer list.

Thanks in advance and happy sailing

Delete the incorrectly set up mail account and create it again, for some reason, editing incorrectly set up email accounts can yield spurious results, like ghosted downloads that won't clear from transfers queue.

Hi Edz, I tried: 1. delete the failing mail account, 2. recreate it with correct IMAP4 settings, 3. delete and recreate it with correct (but unwanted) POP3 settings, 4. delete and recreate it again with correct IMAP4 settings. After every step I tried to clear the transfers list, unfortunately without success.

Ok, so far I could delete the entry about the failed mail by:

sqlite3 ~/.local/nemo-transferengine/transferdb.sqlite
delete from transfers where transfer_id=...;

Deleting the whole db file works too (an empty one will be recreated eventually).

Unfortunately, I still cannot delete the other entries via GUI. Also, new downloads don't appear and there's no "download complete"-notification, no matter if the db was manually edited or deleted. (I did a reboot after every test.)

After installing SFOS 3.0.3.9 (Hossa) on a new phone (XA2 Plus), the problem reappeared. Mea culpa! I should have searched more thoroughly. This problem was already solved many weeks ago: File downloading in browser is very weird. So, for your interest: In my case the patch QR-code share plugin v0.4-1 was the cause. After uninstalling it, everything's fine again. Fortunately, a working alternative exists: QR Share.
