| | Posted: | | | | I recently downloaded a headshots update. It was a "complete" restore file (containing one profile), so I selected only "restore cast and crew database".  I noticed that, with this retoration, I lost all my custom genres. I never had this problem with a specific restore file (containing no profile, only cast and crew database) I made a restoration with my most recent backup, and recovered the list, but I think there is a bug in the program. | | | | Images from movies |

| | Posted: | | | | Whose headshot update was this?
I also got burned with a headshots update once which deleted my whole database - (PM me for the user who submitted it) and another user also reported a problem with one of his updates in the headshots thread. Fortunately, I made a backup the day before and now I stay away from his updates as far as I can. | | | | Last edited: by TraunStaa |

| | Posted: | | | | I somehow lost my custom genres when I upgraded from 3.7 to 3.8 on one of the release builds. I guess it was just a program bug, but was still annoying.
I thankfully haven't had any such database issues when restoring from a headshot update, yet. | | | | Corey |

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks also for your PM, Kat. As the update file causing trouble was not from the same person as surfeur's, please understand that I won't do any name dropping and also believe that all trouble resorts from not checking the appropriate box. |
