Default company not displayed by default

Hosted • invoicing.co | v5

Hi, I’m using the desktop app hosted, and I manage two companies A and B with my login. Since the migration from v4 to v5, the B company is always displayed first and loading data first at the app opening, which is a bummer, because I work 99% of time with company A. The strange thing is company B is not the default one. A is the one. So I tried to select B as default, close the app, switch default to A again, close the app, but with no results. Any idea of what I’m missing here ?
Thank you !

Hi,

If the company isn’t too large one option may be to enable the persist data option on Settings > Device Settings.

Thank you for the hint, it’s already done. It helps loading faster indeed, but doesn’t solve the default setting not working.

Thanks for trying, we’ll try to replicate the problem.

Which version of the app are you using? You can check using the about icon in the lower left corner.

v5.5.36-L97

Thank you for trying.

If that’s of any help, selecting a company by default works on both the mobile app and the web app with my account.

Thanks for the info, I’m not sure why the problem would only affect the Linux app.

When importing from V4 to V5, a problem occurred and company B got imported without company A. Company A was re-imported afterwards.

OK, I find a solution : I uninstalled the desktop app and reinstalled it (Ubuntu 20.04 snap). Now the companies appear in accordance with the choices made in the app.

Well, I’m doomed, it did only work at first launch of the app after reinstall.

Sorry to hear it, we’ll look into it as well.

Hi, any news about that minor problem ?

14

Have you tried this with the latest version of the app?

15

Yes, still the same.

Ok, thanks for letting us know. We’ll continue to look into it.

Hi,
I deleted the company B, and re-imported it using JSON. It worked, I have now company A displayed by default according to my preferences. It must had something to do with the bug at v4->v5 migration.

I had similar issue, however, I wasn’t migrating from V4 to 5, rather started from V5.
My solution is as follows:

  • within the WindowsApp, set desired company as default (settings>Account Management) ;
  • Refresh Data (settings>device settings) ;
  • End All Sessions (settings>device settings) ;
  • re-log in with account credentials ;

Desired company is now default view when I launch/sign into the app.

Hi,
I did a similar process (on a linux install though) but it only worked at the first restart. Next morning it was over. Maybe on a windows install it can do the trick. It seems like the linux app does not perform as well as the others : there’s some bugs that doesn’t seem to affect the other ones.
