DLBXapp32 Troubleshooting

Regular backing up of either the actual preferences file or the automated backup file is strongly recommended: preferably to a volume that is not the same as the one on which your account data is stored; suitable backup volumes would be iDisk, a networked folder, another computer, or to CD or DVD.

What to do if an error occurs

This has not happened but I'm including these instructions in the unlikely event that it does happen.
  • Quit the application using this method: control-click the icon in the Dock and select 'Quit'.

    Diabetes Logbook X maintains 5 snapshots of the database: a snapshot is taken whenever an event is add, deleted or edited and during import, export and quit actions. Quiting via the Dock icon does not create a snapshot during a quit action, and so prevents potentially bad data from being added to the database, and from losing the oldest snapshot.

  • Make a backup copy of
    1. Preferences file com.Nesfield.DiabetesLogbookX.plist
    2. Preferences folder com.Nesfield.DiabetesLogbookX Saved Prefs
  • You can now re-launch Diabetes Logbook X and review the events, if they are all right you can continue using it without any further action.
  • If there is a problem with the data, quit as before and copy the newest snapshot file com.Nesfield.DiabetesLogbookX.plist.sav1 up into the Preferences folder and rename it com.Nesfield.DiabetesLogbookX.plist.
  • Now re-launch the application and review the events. Continue doing this with the snapshots until the event data is restored.
