So it looks like the config file got messed up. I have gone in and deleted the profile(backed up the config file first), then started RDtabs and it woked. So i was able to copy the contents of the file in and all my connections seem to be there however the folder structure i had isnt present but it looks like it is usable at this point.

Any insight as to why the config file got messed up would be great.


---Edit---
It looks like the folders section of the config file is what was messed up as i read it some more.

As i examined a little closer here is what i found.

I don't know why this happens. It's very rare, though. I plan to look for this exception in the future, so I can at least offer to go back to the default config instead of crashing.

Thank you for the reply. Glad to know it is a rare thing.

---Edit #1---
One thing i would suggest if possible is to if it is corrupted to see if you can parse the XML and see if you can recover some of the data. Thankfully all the got overwritten was my folder structure and not my host connection information, and I was able to go in and copy that and then move it over to the new config file and save that.
