Re: XML dates - the dates of the 6 files span the past 2 yrs… what is the significance?
Just to see what is going on.
The npp settings are stored in these xml files.
Depending on the creation/modification timestamps of the files we could determine
if there is a general deletion of those files or if specific files are affected only.
E.g. I would assume that CCLeaner would treat all files the same and delete those after
some time. Now we should see that the modification timestamp, for the files which get modified,
and the last accessed timestamp of the other xmls is more or less the same once you started npp and do your reconfiguration.
In addition it could have been a trigger to remember if you specified some special rules,
for CCLeaner or any other tool, which might have resulted in this behavior.
