Toolbox looks empty ??

Post by Rocko »

Hi all,

Suddenly my 'toolbox' appears completely empty.
I've checked and all modules are still under the correct path, but I can;t view them in the toolbox.
All 'filters' are off and typing a name (in 'search') doesn't help.

Tried a full re-set - no help.

Any ideas how to recover the modules?

oh no man,
by full reset you mean reinstall?

That is truly damnable

Hi,

OK, it looks do be 'by project', so I simply copied all of the last project modules into a fresh schematic.
In the fresh schematic, all modules appear again...

I've had this issue and variations of it several times since I started using FS about 15 months ago.
I think it's to do with FS exiting abnormally but I don't know for sure.
On one occasion I had to rebuild tags.txt manually which is a megapain.

What I do now is backup the user folder regularly then I can just copy it back if I lose stuff.

The path is /Users/Username/Appdata/Roaming and the folder is Flowstone (Windows 7). Just copy it somewhere.
This has got me out of trouble quite a few times and it's a quick fix.

Maybe this will help others...

Cheers

I had this happen recently ... never with one of my own started projects ... but it was loading one of the example projects here. Maybe it was due to different versions. [I'm still 3.04].
