I recently downloaded a headshots update. It was a "complete" restore file (containing one profile), so I selected only "restore cast and crew database".



I noticed that, with this retoration, I lost all my custom genres. I never had this problem with a specific restore file (containing no profile, only cast and crew database)

I made a restoration with my most recent backup, and recovered the list, but I think there is a bug in the program.

Whose headshot update was this?

I also got burned with a headshots update once which deleted my whole database - (PM me for the user who submitted it) and another user also reported a problem with one of his updates in the headshots thread. Fortunately, I made a backup the day before and now I stay away from his updates as far as I can.

I somehow lost my custom genres when I upgraded from 3.7 to 3.8 on one of the release builds. I guess it was just a program bug, but was still annoying.

I thankfully haven't had any such database issues when restoring from a headshot update, yet.

Anyway, I think backup files for headshots should avoid containing any profile. The risk is high to loose all your own profiles if you forget to uncheck "restore profiles" box.

Thanks also for your PM, Kat. As the update file causing trouble was not from the same person as surfeur's, please understand that I won't do any name dropping and also believe that all trouble resorts from not checking the appropriate box.
