Lost Favoutite Folders list and rearranged toolbars

#1 Post by F4k3 » 17.06.2010, 19:55

My computer jammed, so I had to do a hard reset (turn off and on my laptop). After restart the toolbars looked like this http://yfrog.com/9ffreecomcrashj and my favourite folders' list was lost (no folders which I added before are on the list).

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your settings. I'm blocked from seeing your image, but I think when you opened and closed FC again after the hard boot, it created a new Freecommander.ini with "default" settings.
Unfortunately, I think there is no way to recover them, you will just have to make all your configurations again.
This is why it is a good idea to keep back-up copies of your INI files (and your SHC files if you have custom keyboard shortcuts).

I use the Synchronize function to do a one-way backup of my files, but you can just copy and paste them into a folder.
Also I use command parameters to load FC with other INI files. That means I can use other names instead of "FreeCommander", so my ini files won't get over-written in that sort of situation.
(take a look at the guide, maybe the "Recommendations" section can give you some ideas for the future.)

Thanks a lot, I'm still a newbie at using FC. The backup routine is certainly a good idea. Here is a direct link to the image http://yfrog.com/f/9ffreecomcrashj/

It happend again! For the 3rd or 4th time :cry: so I'm leaving Your product and starting to use Unreal Commander. This message is just for You to have some details about the issue. This is how my Free Commander looks like http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/adf6743ea5.jpg - it changed how everything is displayed from the default view.
  • Toolbas are rearranged and scattered all over
  • All my favorite folders are gone
  • Collors displaying the address path changed and are hard to read
  • The view changed from Tree to this.
Good luck.
