Updates to JW Library (iOS, Android, Windows)

How can it be in your favorites when it prompts you to add to favorites?

 

When I click on the three dots in the upper right-hand corner, I get these prompts:

Maybe you should add it again and then see if you can delete it?

"Maybe you should add it again and then see if you can delete it?"

 

Of course I tried to do this also, and when I tap "add to favorite" then I see 2 the same icons of publication.

 

 

Then in 3 dots the option Remove from Favorites show's up. When I removed, the one icon of this publication still there..

 

 

[Tortuga]

That's odd. Have you used JWMerge to sync your JWL settings with another device?

 

I had the same problem that you do and it eventually went away by itself, I thought JWMERGE caused it but I'm not sure.

I wonder if you changed the program display language to Polish if it would help to remove it.

[Piotr Gonczar]

JWMerge? I've never used this.

 

When I saw this problem first time, I thought this added item is from Catalog date, and it'll be fixed. But not. When I installed "new" JW Library, Favorite section is clear and empty of course. The problem is when I restore a backup - extra position still there.. Looks like permanent position in Favorite section. On my iPad and Surface pro is the same problem with this backup file.

I also tried to open the backup file in other app like SQLite Database Editor, and removed "manually" this extra item, but can't find "Favorite section".

Other ways also I tried (switch items in section and removed).

 

But thank you for asking. I see that I'm not alone 😔

I have Polish language in this app for the daily use, just changed the program language to make screenshot and explain it better here 🙂

Go to the publications section

find the publication 

IF it has a star on it then it is a favorite

but if the cloud is there it means you still have to download it

Yes, I tried in that way. Its not the problem to download or delete item, from Publications section also (By type / or Downloaded).

 

With cloud or not (depending on if downloaded or not) is still in Favorites section on the homepage..

 

I removed all other items from Favorites to check, but this one is still there.

I will say I had the same problem a while back - two or three publications - nothing worked. Then they were gone. I assumed from an update or fix. Maybe you'll just have to wait?

Favorites are usually found in the TagMap table where TagId refers to the entry in the Tag table with the name "Favorite" and LocationId refers to the entry in the Location table with the favorited item's details. Make sure you have a copy of your backup before editing it.

 

If you'd like to PM me a backup file I could look into it.

Ok, I will text you.

Went to update my Zoom app and found a 16MB update for JWLibrary Android, as well.

[AH173]

Just noticed it on my pc also.

[Qapla]

My Android now has Version 12.2 (81150)

[jwhess]

Also update on Ipad and Iphone.  It says we can "share" from JW Library (not just JW.ORG) and you can share a paragraph (not just and article).

True, and the recipient can now open the link in JW Library.

This is such a nice update. I hope I may use the full extent of the share feature.

That particular code is simple. 58th Bible book, 10th chapter, 24th verse.

Mine only updated the ones from September to December.

 

PS: Does anyone know why they were updated?

And now you could choose where you want to open video from jw.org - continue on browser or JWL (at least on android phone and Chrome, I don't know how this works in other operating systems).

I guess this is because the last update. I didn't see this option before
