Hi Donna !

Please try the following, and tell me if it worked:

1) go to the folder "My Documents\Coollector\"

2) delete the folder named "Tmp"

3) launch Coollector

Too bad, I hoped it would have worked :worried:

Well, it seems that your coollection has been corrupted somehow, and you'll have to restore your last automatic backup:

1) go again to the folder "My Documents\Coollector".

2) this time, go into the folder "Backups", where are all your automatic backups.

3) double click the latest backup (the one with the biggest number, for instance "MyCoollection17.cool").

If even the backup doesn't work please reinstall Coollector (no need to uninstall before).

But if this backup works fine you'll have to replace your default coollection file with this backup:

4) rename the default (corrupted) coollection file "My Documents\Coollector\MyCoollection.cool" into "My Documents\Coollector\MyCoollection.corrupted.cool".

5) copy the latest backup into "My Documents\Coollector". Now you have "My Documents\Coollector\MyCoollection17.cool".

6) rename to remove the number "17", and make it "My Documents\Coollector\MyCoollection.cool", that is the default coollection which will be used when the program is launched.

7) please mail me "MyCoollection.corrupted.cool" so I can have a look at it. My email address: hector at coollector dot com

What !? Your backup was supposed to have all your data...

When you have double clicked your latest backup, your personal data wasn't there ?

If so, try with the backup before it, until you find the latest valid backup, and replace the default coollection file with this backup.

Please keep me informed.

Donna, do not worry !

I've had a look at your file. Indeed it is corrupted. I still haven't understood everything, but it's a very small corruption, and I'll be able to fix it. There seems to be a bug in Coollector that can corrupt the coollection file, and I'd like to understand and fix this bug.

As I said, I'll be able to give you back all your data !

Donna, it was easy to fix your coollection file, and I have mailed it to you.

Maybe you could help me understand what has happened...
Do you remember, when you have added the "Problem Child Tantrum Pack", if you have done something to the subtitles fields ?

Post subject: 

Alright, I've finally found out that creating your own packs has several bugs. Until now, I wasn't aware of it...

Donna, I see that you have tried creating your own packs, but it didn't work, and it even created a corruption.

I will release a new version of Coollector to fix all those problems as soon as possible.

Hector,

Thank you so much.

When I went to add problem child 3, there was only a pack, so I deleted 1 and 2 and left 3 as I had already added 1 and 2.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks again
Donna

Well, you can do whatever you find easier... You could have added your video from scratch, or do what you've done (don't forget to reset the pack field to make it a normal video and no more a pack). But I'm a little confused because we don't have any pack with 'Problem Child 3'...
