re: 2.47

[gigagiggles]

hello.

installed the new version early this morning and, as a result, the entire program presentation was void of any pictures - no actors, no movie covers. there was no corruption of the index (yay!). i did the tmp delete nevertheless. no change.

looked around my c: drive and found versions of coollector\database\moviesdpt in various locations - users\public\documents, users\username\appdata\local\virtualstore, and programdata.

so, if i uninstall and try anew, which databases get tossed? or do they hang around waiting to be found by the program?

also, why does the installation continue to confound my vista 64 home premium with the compatibility issue of having to reinstall with proper settings? i tried to pre-empt this issue by editing the properties of the installer to match the compatibility. i did not get the compatibility prompt this time. instead, i lost all access to the photos - 1/2 gigabytes worth triplicated across my c: drive. not sure if there is a cause and effect relationship.

From what you say, I understand that you're using the program offline, am I wrong ?

The right location has becomed "users\public\documents".

It used to be "programdata", but we've changed that, and the program should have moved the pictures from the old location to the new one. I'm not sure why it didn't work, but I suspect it didn't like the exotic configuration you told me about in another message.

Please move all the files from the wrong locations to the good location "users\public\documents", and tell me if it works again.

Sorry, I don't have Vista 64... I don't understand those compatibility issues.

But the 1/2 gigabytes of pictures are absolutely not lost, they just need to be moved to the right location. As I said, it should have been done automatically, but for some reason it didn't work for you.
