Bookmarks gone, but bookmark file is full
Posted: Fri Oct 25, 2019 7:45 pm
Hello,
I have the portable variant of Iron on my Win7 32bit laptop.
When trying to resolve an issue with a part of my windows installation, it involved doing something that provoked an instant reboot (no proper shutdown), a couple times in a row.
So now I started Iron, and all bookmarks are gone - except a very small number, which I added after the incidents, without realizing the rest were gone.
I looked in the profile/Default folder, where are those 2 files: Bookmarks, and Bookmarks.bak.
Bookmarks is 592KB, the .bak is 577 KB.
That, to me, look like the current one contains more than the bak, because I recently added a few...
And when I open the current one in a text editor, I see lots of older bookmarks in there.
Yet, they are not shown inside Iron bookmark manager.
Is there a way to fix this?
