Re-Install DELETES My Scripts????

[Anonymous]

I had several scripts I had written to import/export parameters between designs.  A few weeks ago, Fusion started acting bizarre, so I uninstalled, then re-installed, to restore sanity.  Today I find that re-install apparently DELETED my scripts!!  WTF??

I'm sorry about that. That's certainly not supposed to happen. I just tried creating a custom script, uninstalling, and reinstalling and my script was still there. Is there any other information that might help me reproduce the problem?
Also, just in case you haven't checked, I'd recommend a look in

C:/Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Autodesk/Autodesk Fusion 360/API/Scripts/
just to check if the scripts could still be there.

I'm afraid I don't have any more information to give.  I did the re-install a few weeks ago, and only noticed today the scripts were suddenly gone.  Fortunately, I had posted them on the forum after completing them, so no harm done.  The directory you indicated was completely empty, but is where they used to be.

I'll let you know if I see anything like that again.

Thanks!

Ok thanks, I'm glad you were able to recover the files. I'll spend some time investigating to see if I can find out anything else about how we manage the scripts directory.
