UniUploaded deleted my Interface/Addons folder!

I wiped out all my addons.

by **Joypipe** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 10:25 pm

I had to rebuild all the addons in UA to get them to download correctly (rebuilt to AddonName/files vs Interface/Addons/AddonName/files)

I'm sorry, I don't find this a "lol" issue. I had just gotten my guildies interested in UniUploader today. I had gotten it working just earlier this week. Today there is an upgrade, and everyone who tried it out has had their AddOns folder wiped out by this bug. It would have been nice to receive some sort of notice that we have to change the way all add ons are updated into UniAdmin before this happened.

You only have this bug, it seems if you have add ons up to update. Here is an except from the log file:

Now I have to rebuild all my add ons to leave out the /interface/addons structure! (sigh)

no you dont

check the box yes "full path addon" when uploading them to UA...

Although I'm still confused as to why UU is deleting the folders in the first place, maybe instead of saying how you will recover from it deleting your stuff, you could provide me with more helpful info, like maybe attaching your addons that are causing this issue, stating your UA version, etc.

Please remove this update from the update server ASAP. Also can you make a option in uniadmin or some kind of check that checks if I want them to upgrade to the next version or not.

There is an sync setting in UA to allow checking for a new UU version

Code: Select all: UUUPDATERCHECK

Yes i saw that and have set that to no from now on, hopefully that will keep issues like this from popping up again.

I personally haven't had this problem

I wonder what is going on

I sincerley apologize for this disturbing bug.

I have released 2.6.1 which won't be deleting anyones addon folder.

by **Manichee** » Mon Feb 26, 2007 11:26 pm

Thanks for fixing it so soon. Uniadmin and Uniuploader are programs I enjoy using.

I was using UA version 0.7.0.

Thanks for fixing it, and thank you for apologizing. Just an FYI, I had checked all the "yes" to full path addons before, just in case it had meant something. And, I'll try to post which version of everything I'm using in the future, and other relevant info.
