Comics swap categories after sync on all devices.

[jacfalcon0]

Steps to reproduce

I have installed this on an android phone and tablet, a steam deck, and a PC.

I created Extrordinary Gentleman category for the comics, but it was big so I changed it to Ext Gentleman. After syncing, the original came back, moved the comics back in, and then moved all my Sonic comics out of the Sonic category and into one of the two EG folders (I forget which).

It seems the old folder comes back after sync every time (which is a bug multiple other users here have reported), and other things are getting shuffled among the categories too. I'm scared to use the app at the moment.

Expected behavior

Categories and the comics in those categories should stay the same when syncing your only used device with the cloud. Deleted categories stay gone.

Actual behavior

Shuffle around comics and categories for no reason every single time. Deleted categories come back.

Other details

The guy who developed the sync stuff, I used his old version of Mihon before it was merged with TSY. It also had this problem, if that helps at all.

I've even tried on multiple devices to fix the categories, back up everything, wipe the cloud, wipe the app data, reinstall, and then run the backup, sync with the cloud, and BAM... happens again.
