Saving Help Favorites

[ccardimon]

I upgraded to the latest version of Flare and lost all my saved Help Favorites, as usual. This happens every time. I have certain "go to" topics that I have to remember and then re-bookmark every time.Is there any way to preserve these across Flare upgrades?

Do you mean you upgraded from v6 to v7, or you upgraded from v7 to v7.1? If it's the former, it's understandable since you actually installed into a different program folder. If it's the latter, then I guess I'm surprised since it would have installed over the previous v7, but perhaps it actually uninstalled v7 and installed v7.1 instead. You could certainly submit a bug report at http://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/submit.aspx, although make sure you point out that it's the Flare help you're having a problem with, not an output you created.

I went from 7.0 to 7.1. This happens with every upgrade. Help Favorites vanish. I never knew they were not supposed to.

It's one of those things that *should* have been stored in the registry (in fact, I'd be kind of surprised if they weren't...), and then simply read from subsequent versions.

They never have been. At least not on my system.
