RoboTask forum

maybe it is just a one time thing, I don't know.. I renamed a task folder in the UI and the string i was trying to rename to contained a ':'

I can't remember the exact string.. somethin like "blabla: this is my string"

by crashed I don't mean crashed, I meant hung .. "not responding"

just restarted, it's worse than i thought. the folder doesn't show and the task is missing..

I managed to do this:

1) restore old cats.tree
2) folder now shows up when i start robotask
3) export the task
4) restore "new" cats.tree
5) folder is gone again but I don't now how to read cats.tree so I thought better safe than sorry, as I do have other tasks that I had made some changes to since the last backup and don't know how using an old cats.tree would affect those

cats.tree file is the folder structure of your tasks.
If you can not find your task in some folder try to find it in root folder
Also you can find task by task name. Use menu Task->Find task (hot key SHIFT+CTRL+F)

just to be clear, it is a bug and it crashed and after the crash some folders disappeared.. if i restored an old cats.tree then the folders are magically visible again..

this bug was caused by renaming a task folder to include ':' in the text, which hung the platform until I eventually killed it

Thank you for your information. We'll fix this ASAP

...it crashed and after the crash some folders disappeared...

No one can guarantee the safety of information when application crashed...
