On an empty database, if I had the series 'Fringe' or 'Bang goes the theory', everything works fine but I can't delete the show (but I can delete episodes, mark them, etc...).

If I add another show which title contains an '&' character (like 'Law & Order'), both shows appear with the same title (in my case 'Fringe' for both shows).
If I look inside the second 'Fringe' series, I see the 'Law & Order' seasons and episodes.
I can neither delete 'Fringe' nor 'Law & Order'.

At this point I should probably enter a formal bug for seriesfinale, but I can't remember if (and where) there is a way to do it for maemo apps.
I had a similar thought, about special characters and such, and also that maybe the presentation of the data on the website from which SeriesFinale gets in info from may have slight differences in certain shows.

I thought about it after reading the "&" problem, and realised that my messed up series was American Dad! which actually has the "!" in it. However after deleting the .db file, and adding it again, it seems fine... so I'm confused again (perhaps a problem before the update).

I think it is probably not necessary to uninstall the app, but to just delete the .db file, and presumably keep any settings. But certainly a bug that needs addressing before any aesthetic bugs are fixed.

Thanks to Taomyn for the response, it worked fine... my problem was that I misunderstood when you said "home directory", so I cd'd to the parent directory which is called 'home'. And it seems I even used the right switch to show hidden files... there just weren't any where I was looking!

Time to build my database again!
