@gromez You can try backing up your settings using the old wine version then move the prefix folder (mv ~/.heidisql ~/.heidisql-old) upgrade wine and import again

@D3SOX I can't even start HeidiSQL, I see the Session connections window but it instant closes.

@gromez After connecting I see an extra black window in my task manager but other than that it works fine for me. What problems did you experience?

Do you also have problems with latest wine-9.19-1? I have rolled back to 9.18-2 and it's ok

Hello. I have the exact same issue. In my case it tells File does not exist: Z:\home\user\.heidisql\ and it actually exists and it was created by HeidiSQL the time I started the program.
This makes the HeidiSQL unusable because you can't even open a connection.
I use the PostgreSQL Network type and it appears to fail if you try to use both TCP/IP and SSH tunnel options.

It tells me that the file Z:\home\nahuel.ssh\xxx does not exist. Any ideas?

@vandad1901 When does this happen? Please provide exact reproduction steps. Does it prevent you from using the application?
vandad1901 commented on 2024-02-05 19:24 (UTC)
It still shows me "File does not exist Z:\home\<username>\vandad.heidisql"

It fixed my crash, thanks!

I've updated the package to include a link to the plugins folder which fixes some crashes. If you still experience any, please comment and I will see what I can do :)

Heads-up: You can (with your helper of choice) directly install
heidisql-clientinstead of this package, avoiding the need to install a provider afterward.The package now provides the native Linux version of HeidiSQL. It's currently in a beta state so expect bugs. See the known bugs here
To copy your settings:
Click on File > Import settings and select /home/username/.heidisql/portable_settings.txt (use CTRL+H in the file picker to show hidden directories)
There is also the old version available as
heidisql-wine.It now also builds from source and provides variants for both GTK and Qt.
As a last alternative if you don't want to build from source we still have
heidisql-gtk2-bin.
