Hi, I went to generate a rebalance report and suddenly my previously entered allocation targets have disappeared. Also for individual stocks, the asset types have been reset to uncategorized and my custom asset types are gone. I'm not sure when this happened, but was probably fairly recent. Is there a way to restore this data without disturbing my downloaded transactions and price history? Thanks.
Hi thrombus,
These preferences are stored in the registry for your current Windows user (unless you are using portable/cloud mode). If you changed from portable/cloud mode, or switched Windows users, got a new computer, or somehow your registry got erased, like maybe uninstalling Fund Manager, these could all cause a loss of your preferences. Yes, you can restore only the preferences. Restore from a *.FMB backup, and choose to only restore the global registry preferences, and none of your data files. FM makes automatic backups for you, so you can restore from one of these, or any you've made yourself. See "Options / General Preferences... / Data" for the location of your automatic backups. Use "File / Restore..." to pick one to restore from. You might pick one based on date. When you restore, pick the "Global Registry Preferences" in the list, and choose the option to "Only Restore Selected Items".
Hi thrombus,
If you changed to portable/cloud mode, make sure the shortcut you're using to start FM is pointing to the copy of FM.exe in the same folder where your fmprefs.txt file is located. This is the directory where FM.exe was running when you turned on portable/cloud mode. This should be a directory where you have write permission, and not in the C:\Program Files (x86) folder, as FM won't have write permission there. You can read more about how to set up FM in portable mode here: https://www.fundmanagersoftware.com/help/portable.html
