Where are calculated fields stored?
I was working on some complicated calculated field definitions but it broke MC. It is consistently crashing at startup now. Since the last backup I also made significant changes to file paths. I want to see if I can merge new filepaths in db with old calculated field definitions.

In the Library.
There's no documented way to restore only part of the library from backup.

yes, but what file in library? Maybe if I replace only that file ...

No idea.
That would be a brave move indeed. I think Alex figured some of that stuff out once before, but that was many versions ago.

Ok, the calculated fields are stored in mediafiles.jmd and I fixed my library editing the binary file directly. No general lessons there...
However, two features would be great to prevent an issue like this:
1) recursion check for calculated features (This was the problem).
2) import/export calculated fields to an editable format. The latter would also greatly reduce programming time for calculated features and will make them easier share.

Could you give a simple example on how to create recursion that leads to a crash?
Thanks.
