  Restoring Content Browser from Backup

  Posted by Gerrit Velthuis on June 13, 2013 at 1:55 pm

  I accidentaly threw away a (user) folder with objects (I use a lot) from the Content Browser.
  I constantly keep backups through Time Machine on a Mac, but I absolutely don’t know what file(s) I have to restore to get that folder back.

  Who can help me ?

  open the Preferences in C4D, at the bottom left of that window there is a button “Open Preferences Folder” – click that and it will open the actual folder that contains your personal C4D library, in that library folder will be the browser folder that should contain ‘user.lib4d’ – that’s what you’re after I think.

  Thanks Brian, that solved the problem.
  Had been looking after that files/folders, but couldn’t find something called userlib.
  Guess I overlooked it.

  You made me happy.
