The update does NOT touch or update any of your config work!
An update ONLY updates the installation folder of ProppFrexx ONAIR, i.e. in C:\Program Files\radio42\ProppFrexx ONAIR.

All your config files are located in your ProppFrexx AppDataUser folder, e.g. %appdata%\radio42\ProppFrexx ONAIR\4.0.

As such, it is impossible, that an update deletes any config files. Please take a look again...

To make a Backup you can either manually copy the files in your ProppFrexx AppDataUser folder plus any other folder where you store your script files, your Advert Storage Path etc.
Or you can also use the 'Backup' function located in the Tools ribbon tab (which only works on the same PC btw.).

I am afraid I do not understand what you say!?
What do you mean by "...but way set the system samething on default"?

The system events are stored in the file "ProppFrexx ONAIR.config" contained in the ProppFrexx AppDataUser folder.
Also note, that whenever a config file is saved, that a .bak file is created with the previous values.

The update only starts when the running ProppFrexx instance is closed.
The ProppFrexx ONAIR.config file is not used or even held open while ProppFrexx is running or being closed.
Maybe you changed the user name and thus used a new config path?
Else an update can and will not delete a .config file.

Only the .layout files are written when ProppFrexx is closed.

Maybe there is also defect on your hard disk?
I can not tell from here. Maybe it was accidentally deleted by yourself? Maybe something else happened on your system, but as said ProppFrexx doesn’t touch any .config file when being closed or updated. So this can not be the reason!

Hi,

I also cannot access Streamer Server (or where you setup the streams...) since the update to 4.2.0.2. I am not sure which version I was running before. I can click the button in the ribbon but the tool window "Streaming Monitor" (where I can start/stop streams) does not show up.

Restoring layouts wont help me.

Try to close ProppFrexx.
Go to the ProppFrexx AppUserData folder.
Delete the file „Default.layout“.
And restart.

@radio42:
In my %appdata%/radio42/ProppFrexx ONAIR/4.0 folder I only have "Default.encoding" and "Default,.mixer". No "Default.layout" fil.e

Sorry my typo: the file is called "ProppFrexx ONAIR.layout" - delete this one and restart.
