Recovering previous B4A.xml file.

[nfordbscndrd]

When installing the new B4A version 1.90, it overwrote the B4A.xml file where my IDE color schemes were set up and I couldn't remember how I set them up or even what colors I used.

Maybe everyone but me already knew this, but just today I happened to right-click on a file name in a Windows folder and saw an option to "Restore previous versions". I actually just opened it in a text editor and copied out the color schemes. I'm a happy programmer again! :sign0060:

Thanks, but there is no option for that with XP.

Oooh, sorry. Thanks for letting me know. I just added your info to the Documentation Wiki.

Here's my color scheme, in case you're desperate:

<Style Key="IdeBackground" ForeColor="#212121"/>
<Style Key="ContentDivider" ForeColor="#7CFF85"/>
<Style Key="LineNumber" ForeColor="#7CFF85" />
<Style Key="ToolTipBackground" ForeColor="#6C9861" />
<Style Key="ToolTipDefaultStyle" ForeColor="#FFFFFF"/>
<Style Key="DefaultStyle" ForeColor="#FFFFFF"/>
<Style Key="GlobalVariablesStyle" ForeColor="#FFFF91"/>
<Style Key="ReservedWordStyle" ForeColor="#7CFF85" />
<Style Key="NumberStyle" ForeColor="#7CFF85" />

You could try a recovery program, if you haven't used the HD too much it might be able to recover it.

Try Recuva it's free.

For future reference: I've used a free utility named Cobian Backup for many years. I have it do incremental backups of important folders/directories on my hard drive every night, but the B4A directory was not on the list. Guess I'll add it.
