In the last several days, I've customized several of my menus/behaviors in Remote Buddy with a customized Hierarchical Profile. I assumed that this profile was being saved. I restarted the Mac Mini, opened up Remote Buddy and found my personalized Profile completely gone!

Is there anyway of recovering this file? I don't remember all of the changes that I've made to the menu/behaviors.

I am planning on purchasing Remote Buddy, but had assumed that until the trial was over, it was full-featured. I assumed that this meant saving the profile as well.

Any ideas?

I'm running this on the latest Mac Mini running 10.6.4.

Remote Buddy is fully featured during trial time and will never delete your preferences even if trial time is over. Remote Buddy also will save any change you make to the menu profiles.

Since Remote Buddy always saves the changes you make using the standard OS X CFPreferences API (which ensures file consistency even in case of application crashes/force quits), the only things I can think of that could cause a loss are a full system volume (preference files, which are usually written with delay and when the application is quit, can't be rewritten in that case and you may end up with an empty file), some sort of "deinstallation" or "cleanup" tool that deleted the menu profile prefs - or - manual, accidental deletion of the prefs file by the user, a power loss while CFPreferences was writing the profile to the prefs, ...

The menu profiles in particular are saved at [Your Home Directory]/Library/Preferences/com.iospirit.remotebuddy.menuprofiles.plist.. If you've already set up Time Machine on your Mac, this may be an easy way to recover a previous version of that file.
