Back up window layout #2235
Comments
👍 for backing up commands |
I think this is more a feature request than a bug 🤔 |
While we're at it, should we also backup the |
Backing up everything from every instance of the settings manager would make sense imo - Windows users often report to me that their whole Chatterino data gets reset - that includes settings, layout, commands, perhaps irc if they were using it. |
Fixed in #3168? |
Not really, we didn't track down what makes commnads /s settings "reset" on Windows machines. However adding backups for these is a very good step towards fighting this issue. I think it should stay up before we actually figure out a proper solution to how to stop this from happening though. |
Do you by any chance have a username with characters from another language? Perhaps Chinese or polish or German characters? Anything "non standard" in the English language? |
Happened to me twice in the same week. Window layout got yeeted. Settings and commands had backups but not window layout. I shut down the PC every evening and turn it back on in the morning. Both times I saw the layout gone after turning it back on. There were no crashes of windows nor chatterino. Chatterino is autostarted thru the shortcut in the Startup folder. Pretty sure I didnt make any changes to chatterino or windows settings in the last month. And i havent had this issue before. First time i had a lot of tabs open (~20). One of the tabs contained a lot of splits (~50).

I have to go thru each number individually to assign a program to open it (notepad++ in my case). Perhaps *.bkp-X.json would make more sense? |
Not really relevant to the issue but to ensure everything saves properly, you can turn off Chatterino before turning off your computer @GreenComfyTea |
My issue sounds exactly like the original issue on the top and since the other one was merged into this one, I decided to report it here. |
For the Off topic suggestion: Makes sense, there's some more things we can do with the settings/commands saving like auto-recovery if the original file is broken, saving the files with a proper file extension would make it easier for people to inspect them |
I've just had a situation where my disk got full a it resulted in chatterino losing all its settings (it created 0 byte files instead). Fortunately, I was able to just roll all of them back to one of the backups, well, all except So I would like to request for |
Describe the bug
At times when updating/restarting your computer, your Chatterino settings and commands are reset.
To reproduce
There are already backup settings in the %appdata% folder, but there are no backup commands, and I would like to see that for the people who have a lot of commands saved like me.
