Session Buddy Suggested to Repair Then All Gone!

[Abraham A.]

Hi,

This is very upsetting!

Using: Windows 7 (32 bits) - Chrome Canary Version 43.0.2333.3 

What happened:

1. Chrome was getting slow so I used Chrome manager to shut down/crash all extensions including Session Buddy

2. I usually do that then when done browsing I restart Chrome & everything works fine

3. This time I wanted to reuse Session Buddy before restarting Chrome so I went to Settings/Extensions & clicked the reload link but Session Buddy didn't start

4. I tried reloading SB by entering the extension URL in the address bar

5. Got a message that SB is/maybe corrupted & a suggestion to repair it & the reload link became repair

6. Clicking the repair link re-downloaded SB which I guess over the existing SB!

I had some issues before but when restarting Chrome & then going to Chrome store & downloading Session Buddy it worked

Is there a way to recover the old Session Buddy data? 

& Why the repair suggestion? This is the real problem, I should've done what I used to do but I figured why not if it's from the extension itself!

Thanks in advance

The repair link is generated by Chrome and, unfortunately, does not warn the user that extension data will be lost or offer an option to back up or migrate the data.

Since you're on Win7, you may be able to recover a "previous version" of the SB local user data folder.

See:

How to Locate Session Buddy Data on Your Computer

http://sessionbuddy.com/datafileLocation.htm

Once you locate the folder, right-click it and select "Restore previous versions". Before selecting a previous version to restore (if available), make a note of the name of the file in the current user data folder (it's a number), then make sure Chrome is completely shut down.

After you restore the folder, change the name of the data file in the folder to match its name prior to restore (as noted above). 

Restart Chrome and open SB to confirm data is restored.

Let me know how that goes.

Hans

Hi, thanks but I've already done that before posting & it said no previous session was available

Anything else that I can do?

Is your code open source? Unfortunately, nothing works as I want so I really do not want to reinvent the wheel

Unfortunately there's not much else you can do unless you have a system backup to restore from.

SB is currently not an open source project, but we're actively developing it and have some major features planned for the next few releases. Let us know what's not working for you the way you want it to. We're always interested in feedback from the user community on how to improve SB.
