LOg4OM v2 cant restore whole backup data

Post by do1otw »

Dear Support-Team,

I have a big problem to restore my logobook and config in LOG4OM v2 Softare.
Yesterday it was all ok, today i started my PC and LOG4OM v2, but then the software is hanging in the "first start mode" loop.

I tried the steps written down in the user guide to restore my old program config, but everytime when i replace the config.json file in the user folder,
it will be replaced by a new config.json file from the program. My old functionable file from the backup folder has a data size of 34kB, the new one, created from the program only 11kB.
Is there any other way to restore my config and logbook ? I dont know what really happen, i had nothing changed, only shutdown the program yesterday and a normal restart today.

It would be nice, if someone could help me.

Terry, thanks for your quick response. You are right, my last config file in the backup folder seems to be defective.
I used the penultimate file from the folder and now it works fine.
Of course, I could have tried that myself :D
