Hi everyone,
So I thought I had this whole migration thing nailed… everything worked nicely in the SDK and then I ran it on my phone and I discovered the SDK runs programs differently than the phone.
While I think I have mostly ironed out the kinks now I also discovered something that I really don’t like -
Due to the way the sandbox works when migrating from inside the sandbox everything gets copied instead of simply renamed this means that if you have a large collection you could run into space issues and regardless of the size you have a potentially large amount of unneeded writes to your phones storage happening shortening its’ life.
Unless there is a “Jolla approved” solution to this I am inclined to publishing a simple bash script to move your folders manually so that those who read release notes and value their hardware longevity can do this while the rest will go through a X minute migration…
Would like to hear what you think.
