All the entries in my wish list disappeared

Postby theFATboy » Sun Jan 17, 2016 11:34 am

Windows 10 Pro / Newsbin 6.70B2 - Build 4471

For the second time, all the entries in my wish list disappeared. This also happened in the latest non-beta version? Help appreciated, Bob

I'm not sure I understand the timeline. If 6.62 and the beta don't show the wish list. I wonder if you're getting caught by the download list format change betwee 6.62 and prior versions? Did you just upgrade from a version prior to 6.62?

Do you have a backup of the downloadsv2.db3 file? The only help I can provide is to suggest you put your backup into place.

How much was in the wish list?

The wish list tab shows but the content is gone. I upgrade to every new version so I assume I was running 6.62 since December and upgraded to the 6.70B2 a few days ago. I don't have a recent backup of downloadsv2.db3 file. There were probably around 50 entries on the wish list.

The same has happened to me Quade.
I updated to 6.62 before the holidays and the wishlist carried over just fine. Updated to 6.70B2 and they were still there. I updated to 6.70B3 a couple of days ago and tonight I found the wishlist clear when I started NB.

I had approx. 50 items in the wishlist and they mostly (all?) had the group as placeholder - something to do with that fix?
