Hi hopi-
Yes, and I do that, but not as often as I back up my AppData folder (which is nightly), so the exports weren't as up-to-date.
I thoughtlessly ran that "reset to factory defaults" when I should have just restarted REAPER after backing up my reaper.ini to solve the problem I was having.
Anyway, lesson learned, all's well now, and I'm very glad I had those backups!
Thanks-
