How do I recover my profile?

Hi guys,

Adium crashed on me earlier, and when I went to restart it, it asked which profile I wanted to use. The only available profile was 'Default', which I assumed was the same profile I had been using before the crash. Unfortunately, 'Default' has reset all my settings back to the original, so it looks as if I've just installed Adium.

Is it possible to recover my previous profile which had all my custom settings? Having to re-enter my account info for various accounts is annoying, and then I'd also have to change the Adium settings to what I had before.

When it asked me which profile I wanted to choose, it had a little tick box on the window - 'Always show this box on start-up' or something like that, which I forgot to tick. Is it possible to get this window back up again?

Thanks in advance. :)

If you hold in option while starting Adium, it will ask you to pick a profile.

However, I think I recall the devs stating that the multiple-profile feature of Adium wasn't supported 100%, and was designed mainly for developer use.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, It looks like I've done something wrong in Mac OS X which has reset all my applications to default settings (Firefox, Mail etc). :( Looks like I'll have to find a fix for it.
