Soulseek General Discussion

I use soulseek everyday for a while.. 2 days ago I open it and it asks me for username+password
so I put that in and no transfers no userlist no shared files no nothing..
well I can recover most of the stuff but I really really need the userlist
is there anything I can do to retrieve it?

thanks!

If the settings file is gone, it's gone. I just now completely revamped the configuration file save/load mechanism as a result of this post. The old system would write the configuration data to a second file, then delete the original file and put the new file in its place. I suspect under some circumstances the original configuration file is deleted before the OS has time to actually finish writing the second file to the hard drive. The new system always keeps a copy of your last four configuration file saves and tries to load them from newest to oldest. If it fails to load one, it moves on to the next. I'm testing it now and it will be part of the new release.

Thanks, Nir

just another little question..
When I add my shared folders I can only add one at a time and in my case I pick more than a hundred from the same folder.
Everytime I add one I have to open again the add shared folder and get to the same place where all the folders are and it takes much time to load that big folder
so is there a chance for the next build to have an option to select a group of folders?
