Blackmagic Forum

I had to I had to uninstall my DR 16 Free to upgrade to DR 16 Studio today. I was on with tech support and they had me uninstall. It would not install on top.

He mentioned backing up my DB - which I did. For good measure I zipped the folder (after finding it).

After uninstalling and reinstalling, I have lost ALL of my settings like screen setup, etc.

At first I am like this an annoyance. Then, I open my project and start working.

Hey, where is my Power Bin??

My Power Bins with all of my titles I have been working on since I started back in October are no where to be found after restoring the DB.

Searching the forum didn't turn anything up like my scenario ... having uninstalled DR 16.

<Insert Cuss Words> This should not be that hard for a paid product.

Any ideas? Did I lose all of that work?

Disregard - issue solved.

However, I am not deleting the thread since someone else might hit this snag.

First, if there is a way to backup your app settings, do that first before uninstalling.

Two, the Power Bin is not gone. It's just not activated by default.

After hitting the interwebs and searching and sifting through results, I found a link that explained it is not activated by default and you need to turn it on.

Clearly I turned it on the past, I guess I just don't remember doing this and had assumed that it would be there like Smart Bins upon restoring the database backup.

Phew...
