Adium reset after update

Post by Myles Taylor »

I ran the update for Adium and then when I relaunched it all my accounts and settings were gone. I readded the accounts but all my settings and logs are gone. The chat logs are what I'm most upset about. I checked in the Application support folder but they aren't there. There is a lot of Adium related stuff in the trash but I really want my chat logs back. Anyone else have this problem?

Unfortunately, I have only one idea why Adium preferences files would end up in the trash after updating: certain uninstaller apps (such as iTrash) move preference files automatically to the trash when an app is placed there. And in the updating process the previous version is moved to the bin...

Anyway, this piece of documentation might help with putting them back: http://adium.im/help/pgs/Miscellaneous- ... Files.html.

Thanks guys! I moved those folders back and everything is back in place. It's good to have it all back. Thanks for your help.
