Manage tab is missing / Failed to load StormDB database file - invalid or corrupted format

There is only uinstall now in beta 12?
That happens when the db where the search history is tracked gets corrupted and can’t be loaded on startup. There should be an error message logged though.
The database is plain json format, so you can open it an editor like notepad++. In there is a syntax error somewhere, that prevents it from loading, if you find and fix it you can restart the extension.
If you only have a few searches in auto-downloader you can also just delete the db.
Don’t uninstall the extension, as that will remove all your settings from the extension.
The db is located in your airdc folder, usually /home/username/.airdc++ or under Documents if you’re on Windows, and then in extensions/airdcpp-auto-downloader/settings/db.json
invalid or corrupted format
So yeah, you can try to fix the db.json file yourself, but it only keeps track of what was searched when, to make sure items don't get searched multiple times while others are never searched. If you just delete the file, the extension will create a new empty one on next start.
