Lost my times in CCT !!

[@uguste]

Hello,

Today, when I launched CCT, I saw my 4x4x4, 5x5x5, megaminx, magic... totally disappeared !!! The xml file where times are stored seems to be cut in the middle of 3x3x3 times (The last 3x3x3 session I have is from februar).

Do you think I could back up the file or anything or are my times lost forever ?

Please help me !

Have you updated to a new version of CCT recently?

[@uguste]

No, I use CCT 0.9.5 since at least 1 or 2 months. But this version isn't very stable, I sometimes have bugs. I think that caused the data loss.
But actually, I think I will create a new profile and try to beat my old records, it will be fun !

The same thing happened to me not too long ago, lost ALL my times, I still dont know what caused it!

Make sure you close CCT using the close button when you're done. If the program freezes and you have to kill it with the task manager, or if you shut down your computer without closing CCT, you may lose data.

There might be an unclosed tag in your xml file (I don't know why but it's happened before). If you open the xml file in IE and scroll down to the bottom, any known errors should be listed.
You can then open in something like Notepad and fix the error.

There is several unclosed tags, but it is because the file is cut. 4x4x4, 5x5x5, magic, megaminx, OH... aren't in the file anymore.

Yes, this happens from time to time
Keep plenty of backups of your profiles.
Unfortunately the source for the latest version isn't on any of the websites and I got no response from the authors/maintainers when I emailed them. Annoying but I still prefer CCT to the alternatives!

If you use cct, you may lose data.

Sorry if I missed your email. A version of cct is available on the google code page, but it isn't the latest.

Happened to me too. =/ I think I made a thread on it.

If you really care about your files, I'd just keep backups as suggested, though I don't mind losing them once in a while.
