Favorite Effects Missing
All of the effects that I’ve saved in the favorites folder have mysteriously disappeared. The folder is completely empty. The only system change I made since yesterday was updating my Kona LHe drivers, but I can’t imagine that has anything to do with this. Anybody else lost their favorites, and is there a way to restore them?

Yes, updating your KONA drivers will make that happen. It’s happened to me in the past.
FCP Studio 2
Dual 3Gg Quad Core
5Gg RAM
KONA 2
OS 10.4.11 -
Is the bin stored somewhere on the system so that I could back it up before any applying any future updates?

I believe the answer to that is no, unfortunately. My understanding is that Favorites are part of the Preferences files, which is one reason it’s good to have a set of “good” preferences backed up somewhere. If you have a backup set or you use FCP Rescue, install those and I believe you’ll see your favorites re-appear.

Thanks Ron, I’ll give it a try.

As a good tip to share with you…
Create a new project, call it Favorites Project and copy ALL of your Favorites into it. And save this project anywhere you can or want. They just open the project every time you edit and your Favorites will always be with.
Keep in mind, anytime you make a new Favorite, you’ll have to copy it to the Favorites project.
I’ve been doing this for years and have NEVER lost my Favorites since.
