If there's a way to recover them too that would be great

MarcSabatella commented 9 months ago

I didn't experience this on Linux, but I didn't have a custom folder set up. So probably it only applies in that case. Are you sure, though, it's really about the update itself and not about changing from a nightly or other development build to a release build or vice versa? The preferences - including the list of custom folders - are maintained separately.

XiaoMigros commented 9 months ago

I haven't been running a nightly build installed to my system- only portable dev builds that are self-contained to one folder.

So sorry to hear this @XiaoMigros! @shoogle @cbjeukendrup could either of you please assist here? Would be good to know if it is something specific to a custom setup, or if a more systemic override is happening that we need to promptly fix.

Can't reproduce on my side. Tested on 4.2.0 -> 4.2.1 (installers), Windows 10. My paths and files are preserved

Capture

@XiaoMigros Are you using C:\users\'username'\musescore\musescore4\templates and not c:\Program Files\MuseScore 4\templates\ ?

XiaoMigros commented 9 months ago

C:\users\Documents\MuseScore\MuseScore4\Templates

DmitryArefiev commented 9 months ago

C:\users\Documents\MuseScore\MuseScore4\Templates

@XiaoMigros Are you sure? Maybe it's C:\users\Public\Documents\MuseScore\MuseScore4\Templates or C:\users\user name\Documents\MuseScore\MuseScore4\Templates ?

XiaoMigros commented 9 months ago

The second one, forgot to write the username

So that's default location (not a custom).

But again, I can't reproduce it on my side with default path as well..

XiaoMigros commented 9 months ago

I think the default location is just .../Documents/MuseScore4/... but if you can't reproduce it best not to waste your time. Maybe there was some other reason, even if I don't think so!

MarcSabatella commented 9 months ago

Don't forget how OneDrive can lead to multiple different folders being mapped to the same logical location. At least for Documents. Having explicitly moved your files outside of documents might have caused some sort of issue there. It's possible OneDrive does still manage that folder too, though. Probably best to ask for help on the forum with this, as it's likely to be more of a Windows system administration issue than a MuseScore one.

XiaoMigros commented 9 months ago

I don't use OneDrive, but thanks
