Topic: Studio 2011: Projects and TMs lost when closing a project
Poster: Jiri Lonsky
Hi:
I just closed a project (with single file that was reopened after Finalization to implement some changes, and left open for a longer time), then I went to the Projects pane, when all of a sudden vast majority of projects from the list disappeared. When I went to the Documents/Studio 2011 folder, the Projects folder contained only a "projects.xml" file - the rest was gone. Gone was also the entire Translation memories folder. When I searched for one of my old TMs via the "search programs and files" function, the icon for the TM file appeared, but when clicked, a message came up "The item (TM filename) that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you wish to delete this shortcut?"
This is a complete mystery to me. I wonder if anyone here has encountered something similar, and could give me some advice. I considered restoring my harddrive from the last restore point, which should work, but I am not in any hurry to do this, except as a last resort.
Many thanks in advance.
Jiri
