    i will do something external now, hmmm how do i spell DOS - Batch.file on a timer....lol

    BTW a contrasting outline edge to the apexdc++ icon would be nice, its hard to see 'dark icon' on a dark vista top. Or in a second set when i run 2 clients together.

    Thanks for the software.

    Google got freeware http://www.snapbackup.com/

    looks very good........

    testing can we run specified external programs from within apexdc++?

    a few TB available dc++ files, a lot tech and linux, from a private hub.

    That would indeed be a very good idea. I do remember old clients by the time DC++ 0.306 was out having the same problem. Of course, it's not that bad when it destroys your favorites, but it is horrible when it destroys a 5000-file download queue.

    Say there is a Settings\Backup folder, where, upon startup, Apex checks for integrity of all settings files and then backs them up. Let's say it backs up the last 10 entries, like Favorites.xml.bak0, Favorites.xml.bak1,... and automatically names files accordingly.

    thats even better, even one local 'bak' of each file would help on start, [or at a preset time]

    my problem is the following overwrote the favorites.xml

    It would be nice to have a pop-up reminder, at a set time, to dupe operating files to a usb drive [or anyplace], 3 hrs, 8, hrs, daily, etc......within apexdc++

    hi thanks for the softwork...

    I just had to 'hard reset vista' with apex beta4 running and had the favorites file get mangled with a invalid string.

    it would be nice if you had a settings check box to have a copy of user and hash files done to \backup by date after each startup was loaded. so i could see \backup\favorites81407.etc then favorites81507.etc. and possibly a setting of a limit of 10, 20, 30 records.

    i will try to decode thew mangled favorites file to recover some new entries.
