Loss of data after closing BeerSmith

[luk-cha]

Recently I have found that when I close Beer Smith on my PC (windows), I lose all data and need to recover my recipe folders every time from back up or each time or from the archive, nothing can be saved, my laptop has sufficient storage, but nothing will stay saved, and just goes totally empty why is this???

Thanks in advance!

It is possible you have a corrupt Recipe file if the recipes are the only ones with problems:
---
Here's the procedure for resetting the Recipe file alone if you have a corrupted Recipe.bsmx file:
- Open BeerSmith 3.2 and go to File->Full Backup to Zip and make a zip file backup of everything (just in case)
and store this somewhere safe on your hard drive - you should not need this but it is good to have a backup
- Within BeerSmith from My Recipes view do a File->Export All to save all of your recipes to a new file - call it Recipe.bsmx and store it somewhere
easily accessible like your Documents or Desktop - this will be your new Recipe.bsmx file
- Close BeerSmith and open the Windows File Manager or Mac File Finder
- Go to %APPDATA% (on Windows by typing into file manager toolbar) or on the Mac use the File Manager's Go->Library command to view that directory (On the Mac the Library directory may be hidden)
- Under the AppData or Library directory is a "BeerSmith3" directory - open that directory
- Under the BeerSmith3 directory there should be a file called Recipe.bsmx which is the main recipe file. Replace
that Recipe.bsmx file with the one you just saved (to your Documents or Desktop folder). You want the new one to write
over the old
- Start BeerSmith 3 again and create a blank recipe and save it
- Close BeerSmith 3 and then open it again to make sure the recipe you just created is saved
