Chopsaw Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I have no Idea what the codes mean but it may not be all that complicated. Check in Preferences > Folders > All Program Paths: > Show > Preferences Folder. Make sure that the drive letter and path are legit. ie. that you have not renamed or changed the drive Yours looks a little odd and maybe not default. Mine is currently: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Chief Architect Inc Pretty sure that ".ini " file gets rewritten every time you close the program so It is likely looking for a location it can not access.

glennw Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Chopsaw, It looks like the OP is on a mac. My Preferences Folder is /Users/glennwoodward/.config/Chief Architect Inc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 "Mac OSX has roots in BSD and the Unix world. In Unix drives are not marked by special letters; instead the top level of the OS is marked by the root symbol /, and any other drives are mounted (attached to the system) as a subdirectory of the root system. No letters at all." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
