[tripwaffle]

Hmmm, interesting its not appearing on Chrome....

I'm on mac Chrome:



You wouldn't be on a Surface Pro or other touch device by chance?

As a matter of fact I am on a Surface Pro

Ah, it hides the arrows on touch devices. We previously fixed this for surface pro scenario, but it seems to have regressed. Apologies, we'll get it sorted.

So, fixed? On my Surface Pro using Chrome, the left and right scroll arrows appear when you hover over any portion of the top bar

@tripwaffle I have a lifetime of flights (~1,500) to import from MyFR24 (see my signature block). About 500 already imported via TripIt. Uncertain of the purity of the FR24 flights/data. If I import them, I guess the best thing to do is to export my TW data to JSON, so if the FR24 import goes pear-shaped, I can simply re-import the JSON? How would that work? Would I need to establish a new account?

I really don't need to import all the old trips, so unless it can be easily remedied if it goes bad, I won't do it.

At least you can import.

I've stuck with FlightMemory for a long time. It's solid enough but unfortunately a dinosaur in the grand scheme of flight log trackers. So no import for me.

Not too fussed about that inability, however. Guess I could write (or vibe code) a script to convert FlightMemory exported data to suit import to TripWaffle, but eh.

Just started a trip in TripWaffle.... initial impressions point to good...

You'll be fine: the importer will show a preview before you need to commit, and it won't overwrite existing data, just add or augment.

Worst case scenario is we can always pull a backup at our end in order to restore, but am sure it won't be necessary.

Would you mind visiting Settings (click avatar in top-right) > Diagnostics, then copy/paste what you see in the "Pointer & Hover" section. Sorry for the hassles.

Ah yes that was me earlier on - Surface Pro using Edge/Chrome browser. NOw the weird thing is, there were arrows a few days ago, but they seem to have gone again. @Airbumps if you have a mouse with a horizonal scroller hovering the mouse over it lets you move left/right using that scroller.

Thanks for giving us a look.

If you're willing, email a dump of your FlightMemory export to tripwaffle AT fastmail DOT com and we can see how viable an importer is?

I will be interested as well. My Flight Memory gors back to 2004 whereas Trip It goes back to 2019

Please send through, if willing. The more the merrier with this stuff.

Oof, almost Ansett vintage.

No problem - Thanks for your help troubleshooting this

@SeatBackForward and @Airbumps ... I believe the widget scroll arrows should appear for you now (upon refresh). The diagnostics page should show you a positive indication for "Carousel arrows visible?". Cheers.

I believe that, unfortunately, FlightMemory does not have an exporter. Hence the data is largely trapped there, especially if you have a lot of it.
There is this 3rd party exporter tool, that I did use a while ago when I wanted to get the data out and it worked fine for me, but it may not work for everyone.

Happy to take a look at the flightmemorybackup data format if anyone wants to send through?
