Subject: Corrupted prefs on crash - deleted every setting
To: After Effects Mail List <AE-List@media-motion.tv>
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=089e013a0116eb019c04f6767573

Now this is partially my fault for running too high of an overclock, but I
had two separate crashes the other day that completely corrupted my prefs
files, taking with it all custom workspaces (argh!) and output module
templates (double argh!). These were not reset when I re-synced my
downloaded creative cloud prefs, it seems they were lost forever.

When I restarted AE after the crash it says it could not find the prefs
files and renamed all of them to .old - when I went into the .old files in
wordpad, despite proper file sizes, they were completely empty.

This is more or less a warning - I wish I had made full backups of my
prefs, as it takes at least 45 minutes to re-create all the various
settings and script panels and output modules as I like them. I had
foolishly relied on the cloud to back up everything, and this is clearly
not the case. At least I didn't lose any work
