Hi there,

A while ago all my collections (project based collections) disappeared. So now I'm trying troubleshooting where they have gone. Where are collections written? Where can I search for them? I suppose is not something linked to dbs but the preferences's engine.

Thanks in advance

I just update BH to 2020.12 and the only one collection I had disappeared. Actually the entire collection section is not there. This function was deleted?

Collections are held in your BaseHead data folder: \documents\basehead 5.x\libraryDefaults.lib

 

You can open this with a text editor to see the collections you should have.

@jasona I couldn't rescue those collections (because my backup was later than the collections loss) but now I know where I can find them. Thank you!

Ok! I have a macos backup, so there maybe I can rescue them. I’ll swap that file and see what happens

There seems to be a problem recalling if that node is hidden or not on the next launch and you need to un-check and re-check in the PeekTree Settings it to show it again.

We will fix it later today and post a new version soon.  As we are in the middle of a major changes it might be a few days.  8(
