All of my sessions got deleted

[Dergen Mozer]

I have 2 laptops, use primarily Chrome on both, and installed Session Buddy on both to keep track of all of my sessions, especially since Windows 10 Updates are unavoidable and always shuts down my computer and closes my sessions.

Now all of my sessions are gone because of some weird ass update. Wtf

Do I have any recourse to recover, or nah, gone forever

[Session Buddy Support]

I assume the weird ass update you're referring to is Session Buddy v4.

This version of Session Buddy was released about 5 months ago and included automatic data migration. However, since you're upgrading much later you'll need to migrate data manually because of Chrome deprecations that have taken effect in the meantime.

Unfortunately there was nothing that could be done to avoid this requirement. To address it, we:

1) Started warning users a few months ahead of time with an in-app notification

2) Display a link to transfer instructions immediately after the upgrade completes for those upgrading late. See: https://sessionbuddy.com/restore-v3-data/

3) Facilitate manual transfer of the data by providing a migration utility you can find here: https://sessionbuddy.com/v4-migration/

If you need additional help restoring your data, don't hesitate to let us know!

Cheers,

Hans

This is crazy. I have lost all my sessions after updating to v4 and:

1. I never got a warning.

2. I never got transfer instructions after the update to v4, and judging by all the comments here, other people didn't either.

3. The migration utility doesn't work because none of the files in <C:\Users\kayla\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\IndexedDB\chrome-extension_edacconmaakjimmfgnblocblbcdcpbko_0.indexeddb.leveldb> meet the description in the instructions, and all are rejected by the migration utility as the wrong type of file. See below for the files in that folder. 

Now what?
