No import plugin loaded

[edgaralleno]

I just installed SqLiteStudio onto my NixOS machine but I'm unable to import data into a database.

Steps to reproduce:
Open/create database
Select Import tool

Returns error: "[15:50:36] Cannot import, because no import plugin is loaded."

No dialog opens. In my configuration dialog there are no plugins listed except for the auto-hidden plugins, and none of the import or export plugins are listed when I uncheck the "Hide built-in plugins" box.

I'll specify the version I have installed is 3.4.16. This seems to be, for whatever reason, the latest version that's available to me despite being on the unstable branch of nixos.

From what I understand you're installing it from NixOS packages. In that case the question is whether that package contains plugins (such as libCsvImport.so or libRegExpImport.so) and where are these plugin files placed, so that they can be detected and loaded by SQLiteStudio.

By default SQLiteStudio looks for them in few locations - you can look them up by going to menu Help -> About -> Environment and looka at:

If your plugins are not located in any of directories listed there, you can apply walkaround by defining environment variable:

export SQLITESTUDIO_PLUGINS="/path/to/your/plugins"

Also, if plugins are not placed in correct place (or missing entirely), you can reach out to the NixOS package maintainer for SQLiteStudio, as listed at https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&show=sqlitestudio&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=sqlitestudio

Thanks for the help. The plugin directories listed in About -> Environment don't exist. I'm reaching out to the package maintainer for a solution.

Hi,

Perhaps it would be easier to just grab the latest Linux x64 portable package from the Releases page, unpack it somewhere and then execute sqlitestudio command.

Best regards!
