Help! Lost all my Lua Scripts of Panel

[lecleto]

Hello Ctrls!

After delete some modulators that I thinked that are not in used by my panel and after close and re-open the panel all off my Lua Scripts just disapeared!!

Is possible restore something?

Does anybody can help? Where these scripts are stored?

Thank a lot!!

Are you on Windows?

If so, go to C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Ctrlr\Ctrlr.settings:

Edit the file in a text editor. Find a function in the text:

eg myChangeReverb=function()

add some text to it myChangeReverb xx =function()

Save and close.

When Ctrlr opens, it will throw an error when it sees the xx and allow you to re-edit the panel.

This is useful if you can’t reopen the panel, but from what you write, you seem to be able to open the panel; except all the lua has gone. Very strange!

Hello Dnaldoog! Thank you for answer!
Yesterday I restored from backup tha last save of work that was 2 day before since not was possible restore the file.
I worked for today but, to my surprise, one more time all Lua Scripts desapear and I lost one day more of work!
What is the best practice to backup files? Save the .panel or .bpanelz

Thank you!

What I do is first create a .bpanel file and keep saving to that.

If I want to make major changes, save as a new file .bpanel

You can also ‘save versioned’ to make a second copy

Never close a panel from Ctrlr before saving. All changes will be lost.

You can close Ctrlr and your changes are remembered even though you didn’t save anything.

I also have three windows batch files on my desktop with which I can backup all of Ctrlr settings and image folders in \AppData\Roaming\Ctrlr and also can restore or delete.

It’s very frustrating to lose one’s work and every so often I lose all my recent work!

In a text editor create the following files with extension

backup.bat

set ROAMINGPATH=C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\
set DIRECTORYNAME=Ctrlr
set FOLDERTARGETLOCATION=C:\Users\%USERNAME%\OneDrive\Desktop\
set DIRECTORYNAME_FULLPATH=%ROAMINGPATH%\%DIRECTORYNAME%
set DEST_FOLDER=%FOLDERTARGETLOCATION%\%DIRECTORYNAME%
xcopy /Y /S "%DIRECTORYNAME_FULLPATH%"\*.*   "%DEST_FOLDER%"\

restore.bat

@RD /S /Q "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Ctrlr"
echo copying file over now
ROBOCOPY "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\OneDrive\Desktop\Ctrlr" "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Ctrlr" /mir

delete.bat

@RD /S /Q "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Ctrlr"
echo deleting
