Chunky Comic Reader only shows certain Dropbox folders

Chunky Comic Reader only shows certain Dropbox folders

I've used Chunky Comic reader for years because it's got a great Dropbox integration- I can browse my whole Dropbox hierarchy and import comics I've bought.

 

But, after getting a new iPad recently, Dropbox has stopped working. Nothing's changed on the app side (it hasn't been updated in years). When I load Dropbox on the new device, it only shows me 2 folders when I should see ~20. Those folders work as expected, but they're not the ones I'm trying to access.

 

The available folders also happen to be the two newest folders in my Dropbox; they were created in May of this year and August of 2023. All my other Dropbox folders were created in 2022 or earlier (and don't show up via the API). I've confirmed that if I create a new folder, it shows up in Chunky as expected.

 

So, is there a reason old folders wouldn't show up in an API call? I don't have information about which API endpoint is being used (since I'm not the app's developer) but given that new folders show up, it seems like an issue on the Dropbox side.

 

Thank you!

Playing with this a little more, it seems like only folders with a recent enough modified date will show up. I renamed my comics folder and it showed up in API responses immediately. Definitely doesn't seem like intended behavior, but I'm glad it's working again!

You will need to speak to the developer as it sounds like they need to update the app - there are also changes coming up later this year which, if not updated, could cause the app to stop working completely.
