Unable to export the changed files from the translation bundle. Has anyone else faced this issue while working with translation bundles?version 1.4.0 ---

What happens/can you provide any more details? Export is a brand new feature that's basically only been tested on my laptop, but should work fine, it's not particularly complex code. ---

I made some changes and pasted the translation bundle into Kindle in CSV format because the Excel format wasn't working. Then I tried using the 'Export ZIP' option, but it didn’t do anything. ---

After you click 'Export Zip', **nothing** happens? You don't even get the file picker? ---

Yes, I cannot see the file picker. Only the _Export Zip_ icon is highlighted with a blue outline. ---

I am trying to edit the DEMOTIMEREMAINING for module debugging from Kindling, but I get an error message that the database is readonly. Am I forced to open the IDB file in another program? ---

sqlite databases can't be written to from multiple processes. You'll have to stop the Ignition Gateway before you can write to it, from any other software. ---

This is the error I am getting even when the Ignition service is stopped and Kindling is opened with Admin privileges: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/0/902dd4f151583316ca82e3bdc276a89ae404fe0d.png) ---

Hmm, looks like Kindling might be opening it in read only mode. Don't know if that's configurable or not. ---

The ‘db’ folder that contains the .idb file is set to read-only and won’t allow me to enable writing. Could that be the issue? ---

Kindling is strictly read-only for all IDB connections, there's no support for writing data back. > > > \### Open questions > \- Does this apply to IDBs opened from within a gateway backu…p? > > \### Behaviors > \- MVP: Allow update queries from generic view > \- Nice to have: If primary key is present, make results table cells editable? > \- Nice to have: Allow upload of images in image view (#13) ---

Understood. I figured out how to write a new time to the config.idb, but when it expires the gateway atuomatically resets it to 2 hours. Is there another setting that controls what the timer resets to? I would like to reset the timer to 120 seconds automatically. ---

No, because if there were such a setting somebody could change it to int/long max and have an effectively infinite trial. ---

Values greater than 2 hours are ignored, but also we basically only check the trial time written into the IDB when the system starts up. Write a shell script that shuts down the gateway, runs the sqlite cli to reset the trial timer, then starts the gateway back up? ---
