clipy for mac wouldn't load
solution - timemachine restore of /Users/jpaul/Library/Application Support/com.clipy-app.Clipy/default.realm
troubleshoot
key command didn't work
app not loaded
console.app showed app crashing
tried older newer versions of app
tried older version of os
tried to find data location
no documentation on github
/Users/ME/Library/Application Support/com.clipy-app.Clipy/ - didn't see any data
/Users/ME/Library/Application Support/Clipy - found data in binary format
tried silver searcher for the only keyword i could remember:
ag keyword ~/ - no results
added binary
ag --search-binary keyword ~/
Binary file /Users/ME/Dropbox/Backups/com.clipy-app.Clipy/default.realm matches.
it is in default.realm
downloaded realm studio - but i was getting an error
Unable to open a realm at path '/Users/ME/Desktop/default.realm': Invalid top array size
googling that - it's a corrupt database
restored default.realm from timemachine
and database opened and clip app launch
