Are you using other means to sync bookmarks in parallel to floccus?

No

Sync method

WebDAV

Which browser are you using? In case you are using the phone App, specify the Android or iOS version and device please.

Android 14 Oneplus 9 Pro

Which version of Nextcloud Bookmarks are you using? (if relevant)

No response

Which version of Nextcloud? (if relevant)

No response

What kind of WebDAV server are you using? (if relevant)

No response

Describe the Bug

First, Linkwarden can not be selected in this bugreport :)

After a few starts of Floccus on Android, I only get the error message Failed to map parentId: 0 while syncing. Removing profile is impossible too, because the option menu is blank.

I tried reinstalling the app and but the error remains.

Sometimes it syncs just fine, I don't know why.

On Windows and Linux Floccus syncs fine with Linkwarden (Firefox and Brave)

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 💙

Hi @ Morethanevil,

I've seen this error a few times already, but could not consistently reproduce it, sadly.

In the meantime you can try to trigger a sync from scratch in the settings of the profile that errored. Make sure you have a backup of your bookmarks before you do this, and check your bookmarks for deleted bookmarks that may have come back. You can be sure that nothing will be deleted in this step, though.

Thanks for the answer, but the options of the profile are empty, as you can see in the second screenshot. This happens at the same time. I need to clear the app data and recreate the whole profile if I want to add bookmarks via Android. At least the error is known and it only affects the android app.

Mh, then I'll need to fix the options first, of course, you're right!

@marcelklehr Hi Marcel, first of all thanks for the great work !!!
I have the same issue and it is not resolved with the new update. I am using it with Nextcloud and get the same error message on all my android devices. However the sync with the browser it working perfect (Firefox with the Floccus add-in).
When I am using a sync over webdav into a file i don't get any error messages. Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance !
