clearing ctrlr preference files

[msepsis]

From time to time, ctrlr update after ctrlr update I notice ctrlr becomes a bit fragile, sometimes not launching, sometimes not closing gracefully, sometimes the app crashes/hangs while saving or exporting a panel. etc..

(I’m running the 64bit version of ctrlr on windows7 as recommended)

Usually the first method to tackle an issue like this is to clear all previous preferences… so I’ve been renaming/deleting the "ctrlr" folder from C:Users<myusername>AppDataRoaming to in effect trash the prefs.
This helps to get ctrlr up and running again… but are there any other locations where ctrlr prefs are stored?

What always strikes me as odd is that after trashing the AppData/ctrlr folder and reopening ctrlr, then opening my panel (I save my panels with resources), I have to press/hold return through all the "resource already exists" messages….. how could the resources already exist if the folder containing the resource folder, which lived in Usersblah blahAppDataRoaming was deleted/removed?

Are there any other ctrlr preferences that should be trashed when updating ctrlr besides those I mentioned?

Do you recommend a practice other than saving panels with resources? I have to say today I noticed one of my knob resource files looked to be about 12 times the file size it really is on disk (according to the resource tab in ctrlr) .. I removed the resource then re-imported it and it seemed ok.

Thanks!!!
looking forward to getting this panel all cleaned up and 467 compliant ” title=”Smile” />

there is a special way to do this, when starting Ctrlr hold CTRL+R, it should clear stuff up, resources are in Ctrlr/resources folder, other then that they can be embedded in the panel file, i need to check if i didn’t make some silly mistake when importing resources from a panel file.
