Upgrading from 0.6.6 to 0.6.9 did not work out so well!

Backing up manually did not work in 0.6.6 (clicking button "backup" had no action). I exported to a new folder in HerbIQ root. When I tried upgrading to 0.6.9, the auto backup failed and suggested manual, which I already did. I clicked "convert" then installed. Then when I go into app, first new thing is Win7 asks if I allow HerbIQ to make changes to hard drive, I say yes. I load the app, but all my plant data is not there!!! I go to Import, but it also erased my backup folder in the root HerbIQ! I closed app and reopened - same thing - no data!

Is all my plant data/pictures gone?

Can you check all 3-4 of these directories for your data file? Obviously you checked 1-2 of them already but can you check those that you haven't yet below and let me know?

C:\Program Files\HERB.IQ
C:\Program Files (x86)\HERB.IQ
C:\Users\LuciferX\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\HERB.IQ
C:\Users\LuciferX\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\HERB.IQ
 
I was able to recover a previous version of HerbIQ 0.6.6 folder and copied to desktop. But trying to import the HERB.IQ.420 (only 3KB?!) file fails. It seems to look for 0.6.8 version perhaps? Should I delete HERB.IQ folder, install 0.6.8, try to import data and then upgrade to 0.6.9?
 
never mind, I found the backup that worked in the virtual store folder. I now have the data back, which is most important. However, the pictures are all gone. Where do you store those and how to get them back?

did you see your data file in any of those directories I listed?

Awesome, in that virtual store directory copy the pictures subdirectory over the install directory, you'll have to overwrite the existing pictures subdirectory. They should all be in there

Got it! It's all back, thanks buddy!!! That was a close call.

In the future, do you advise upgrading to incremental releases as they come as opposed to skipping versions? I seem to have some issues jumping from .6.6 to .6.9...

You bet, glad you didn't loose any data. I'll put out 0.6.10 with a fix for this, it has to do with the path HERB.IQ is looking at to find your data file, I can make it check the old location and copy them to the new location automatically.

Upgrade 0.6.9-0.6.10 smooth on Win 7 64 bit. Good job!

A couple of points for the Report tab, number of days section:

1. The dates that are not entered yet (ex: not yet harvested/cured) are defaulted 01/01/1901. I think it looks cleaner and more consistent if you leave those blank, as you have in the Plants tab "info" area.

2. I suggest changing "Veg Start" to "Veg Time" (or Veg Period) and change the logic to calculate it. When I am in flowering, I care more about how long I vegged this plant for, rather than how long ago I started vegging. I'm in flower after all... Also, from a historic point of view it is an important number, i.e. I vegged this plant for so many days and it got that tall and yielded this much, etc... Currently, I have to do a manual calculation to figure out how long each plant was vegged for. I am not sure if you have the same logic for the other stages that always compares the start date of a stage to today's date. I think this has little value if I'm looking at a plant that I grew out a year ago. What do you think?

Thanks, your input helped a lot!

1. Yeah I can blank that out no problem
2. That's a good idea, never thought about that, I can put that into the next version for sure and have it calculate for any phase change.

Kdn,

I like the look of the code!!! I was looking to get some insight into the temp and hum. code. I have a seal system that is water cooled. I am looking to see what code modes I have to figure out to auto exchange air in the sealed room. As well as code for turning on the radiator for cooling while the room is sealed.
