Backing up Foobar cfg file is useless.
Well, Foobar got me again. I experienced an electrical problem and had to turn off my power conditioner/UPS before properly shutting down Foobar. Of course, when I opened Foobar later, I got an error message and found all my settings messed up.
The worst part when this happens is that your playlists get wiped out, at least partially. This has happened to me with improper shutdown before, and I was advised to back up my Foobar cfg file.
Well, even after I replace the messed-up cfg file with my backup copy, the playlists remain destroyed. Tried all kinds of different ways of replacing the messed up cfg with the backup copy, but playlists don't come back.
So I'm finding out painfully that cfg backup doesn't do anything when Foobar wipes out playlists. If somebody knows how to restore my playlists, please let me know now, PULEEZE!
