Just started MC 11.0.27 to find almost all my files are no longer recognised. The library still has a record of them all, but all the non-user fields have gone, so no filename, file type etc. All I get are the user fields. Subsequently all the files can't be located on disc because of the lack of filename in the database.

Any ideas anyone???!

If you've run import lately, MC automatically made a backup for you.  You'll have to restore from a backup.

If you have any more details about how it happened or how to reproduce it, please let us know.

Thanks.

Did you update from MC10?  Did you let MC11 update your database?

If not, try it.

If so, try re-importing.

When MC11 converts MC10 data, it creates a backup copy of your library in the MC program directory.

Hi,

Thanks for a super quick response! Luckily I did a backup about two months ago, so I've restored that (about 3000 records) and then imported the files I've ripped since then (about 200). What surprised me is that when the 200 newer files were imported back into the library the user fields got populated - is this data also stored in the files themselves?

Anyway, the panic is over and the lesson of backing up as much as possible learned. Any chance of adding a feature to MC11 to automatically back the library up every week or so???
