Update did not save settings...

[goddi]

I updated to 12.0.5, Build 2. It did not save my ‘Recent Open Project’ list or my ‘File Open’ default location.  Sort of a pain to re-input that info. Why would it have done this with this update when in the past updates kept all my settings? The 'Recent Open Project' listed a bunch of very old projects that I have not opened in a long time.

And...when I have PTE opened, and click on a folder for a project to open, only the files show up in 'File name'. It does not open the PTE file to show the project.  What's going on????? To open a project, I have to click on the .pte in MyComputer.

Hi Garry,

We didn’t change this behavior in V12. When you installed V12 for the first time, the program prompted you to import settings from the previous version (V11) on first run. You need to confirm this action.
Right now, you can uninstall V12 and reinstall it, importing your settings from V11.

Sorry, I'm not sure that understood rightly.

When PTE is opened, you can open projects from the main menu > File > Open... or by clicking the Open icon in the top toolbar.
The File panel displays only images, videos and audio files. Not project files.

Greetings Igor,

I had already updated to version 12, and I updated to import setting from the previous version. Haven't had any problems. However, when I just updated to of 12.0.5 (just the free update), the problem started. When I do a File/Open and choose a .pte show, PTE will show the images of the show in the Slides. But, the 'File name' window in PTE retains the files from a previous show or jumps to some other unrelated list of Directories. It does not populate with the files from the show I just opened.

Didn't do that before or am I just losing my mind????

There is something not right and it only started when I did the free update to the current 12.0.5 version.

The fact that the 'Open Recent Project' did not show any of the recent projects, and only showed very old projects, there is something not working correctly since I did the update.

Greetings,

Ok...I cleared the Recent Recent Projects and started over. When I open a .pte from File Manager, the Slides get populate with the show's images. Ok. But then I have to go to the directory list and find the associated folder for the images to appear in the 'File Name' window. Wouldn't it be nice if the File Name window gets populated automatically once you Open a .pte file from File Manager? It is a pain to have to hunt through the folders to locate the associated images once the .pte has been selected and populated in the Slides.
