Rosco2017 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Strangest thing happened today. I opened Chief on my laptop and my User Catalog had nothing in it. Closed and restarted Chief and still nothing. Anyone ever come across this? I spent hours creating that library. I usually back things up every few months and that was on my to do list, but I've been swamped with a renovation, work, family, and a new rescue pup. Any thoughts?

The Location in Preferences wasn't accidentally miss directed was it ? ... Check on the General> Folders Tab.... Did you check your Recycle Bin ? in case it got deleted somehow? Hopefully you have a recent System backup or Image if needed........... M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco2017 Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 Hey Mick. Thanks for replying. I tried to call priority support and was met with a message saying they were ALL in a meeting. LOL. I will try back later. In the meantime I just have to press forward. I currently have 8 clients on my desk right now and have no time to really dig deep until late this evening. I did go into my preferences and noticed that the user library was greyed out as well as the browse button... That was a tad confusing... see pic attached. I will try to dive into this this evening. Thanks again for the reply. Have a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the User library File in the Default location is really small , ie a few MBs then Chief has rebuilt the File for some reason eg the original file was corrupt and couldn't be opened or your Virus scanner is blocking the original File or some other anomaly like that.
