Hello,
I recently relaunched Gdevelop5 on my PC (Win7) after two years.
I was surprised to see the user interface completely changed, and it’s very nice!
I guess a discreet update was done.
I was able to relaunch my projects, in the recent files menu. All fine!
Then, I turned off my computer. The next day, I turned it back on and tried to relaunch the program, and it was nowhere to be found!
The app icon shortcut is a now a placeholder which leads to nowhere anymore…
I investigated all my PC, searching in my program files, no more trace of Gdevelop anywhere
The C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Programs\GDevelop shows an empty folder…
Does the Gdevelop projects files are located by default in the installation folder? I don’t remmeber saving my projets elsewhere…
I’ve some files related to Gdevelop in my MyDocuments system folder, where all of my assets are properly showns, and there is some *.json files :
- projectname.json.autosave
- projectname.json
EDIT: After deeper searches I’ve found a post of a similar issue here on the forum:
https://forum.gdevelop.io/t/gdevelop-disappeared-altogether-from-my-pc/23164
If we shut down the computer very right after quiting Gdevelop, the silent auto update is messed up and installation is totally deleted! Oh my…
From here, here my questions:
If do a new installation of Gdevelop5, are these JSON files —remaining in another directory— are the master files of my projects?
Or do I lost for good my saves (which were probably located in the default installation directory) ?
