Cumulus Support

Hi there,
I recently purchased a Win11 laptop and migrated all my backup cumulus 1.9.4 files from my old laptop to their corresponding Cumulus directories in the new laptop. I got it up and running ok but I have noticed an annoying problem. When I open the monthly records tab (View -> highs and lows -> monthly) I find, for example some November and July records listed in the January tab. These errors I can see in the monthlyalltime.ini file in the data directory. I found a backup ini file in a backup folder which has the correct data, but when I delete the ini file in the data folder and replace it with the backup (non corrupt) ini file cumulus simply reverts somehow to the corrupt file when I reopen the program. Very frustrating. Is there a certain way this has to be done? Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Rob

Hi,
Maybe you can try the live Edit > Monthly Records and make a correction and see if that keeps. and updates the .ini file correctly.

Enjoy,
Paul

Thanks for the tip Paul. Your recommendation worked great and the ini file is retaining the changes I made. What was happening for example, Apr 11, 2012 (2012-04-11) was in the ini file as 2004-11-12 ie. Nov 12, 2004. It took me a good couple of hours to make the corrections!
Thanks Again!
