Programming disappeared

[EdOwen]

Just upgraded to the latest version. When I rebooted much of the programming changes I'd done in the last year or so were gone. It's playing presets I'd done 2 or 3 years ago. AI told me that a new version will sometimes establish a new folder for presets and that the old ones are out there but you have to manually move them. Any thoughts on this? I'd rather not have to start pretty much from scratch.
Thanks!

It can't revert to the settings/presets that are 2-3 years old, there's no code to perform this kind of operation.

It does not such thing. RadioBOSS keeps its settings in a folder, you can open it via Settings > Open Settings Solder menu command. If you install it to a different folder, that installation will use a different settings folder. This way, you'll have a new (mostly empty) settings folder, and your original settings folder, where all your settings are kept.
Again, there's no way to revert to some 3-year old programming state.

When you click Settings > Open Settings Solder, you can then go one level up to see what settings folders you have.

I'm going to check into what you posted.
There may not be a way to do what I described, but all I can tell you is that once I installed the update, multiple presets that I hadn't used for over a year are suddenly in play and the commands that took their place aren't. It's weird as heck.

I think I see the problem. A while back I updated to the Pro version. My newer presets are in that folder, and it looks like the update sent me to an older standard version folder. (Workin' on it!!)

This is also weird as there's no "Pro" version of RadioBOSS.

Sorry, Ultimate.

Had to reenter my registration code. Let's see if this fixes things.

OK so here's where I am, and how I got here. I continue to see no solution.
Things were working fine on my RadioBoss station. I'm an 'Ultimate' subscriber. (I'll tell why I confused it with 'pro' shortly)
1) I noticed there was an update available the other day. I'm registered through January of next year so I updated the software. I'm on 7.2.2.0
2) I entered my registration key and rebooted.
3) At this point, the programming presets I'd put in in the last six months disappeared from the screen and presets were showing that were several years old. A few would run, most were listed but gave a 'preset not found' error. This includes the older ones. The ones entered since the first of the year weren't listed at all. (I understand the program SHOULDN'T do this, but it did.)
4) I found the preset files I'd created since the upgrade in a folder called '\presets\PIGenPro'. (That's when I typed 'pro version'. My bad on that.)
I did the following as directed: 'When you click Settings > Open Settings Solder, you can then go one level up to see what settings folders you have.' It takes me to a folder that contains the preset folder listed in item #3 above.
I have made ZERO changes to the program so this isn't something I created. For some reason I'm not able to access the programming presets contained in the folder 'PIGenPro' which is listed under my settings folder.
This thing has run flawlessly for several years. But it is not reaching those programming presets and I just need to know how to make it work again.
Thanks for any help!
