Bug with external hard drive

[Drag]

Hello people!

 

Let me explain briefly my problem:

 

I keep my games on an external hard drive to save space. If I run GameBooster when my external HD is disconnected, all my shortcut in Game Box are gone.

If I connect my HD when it's too late, or if I restart GB, nothing. The Game Box is empty.

 

There is a way to prevent this (maybe backing up a file)? Or should you great IOBit programmers take this eventuality into consideration, please?

 

Regards,

Drag.

Hello,

:?: You want GB to See software, on an external-drive, that Is NOT connected to computer ?:shock:?:shock:? :shock:? :shock:?

 

If the external-drive has a USB-2.0 or slower Interface the game-Programs should Not be on it.

(USB-3.0 or eSATA Interface are fast enough though)

Well, you know... in Windows, if you create a shortcut that points to a program that is installed on an external drive... the worst thing that could happen is that you see a standard icon image, but the info remain stored. The icon itself doesn't disappear.

If you reconnect the device, everything is OK again.

 

With GB, forget to connect the external drive BEFORE launching GB and all your icons are gone forever... unless you recreate them 1 by 1...

OK, how about a practical solution if it works. :idea:

 

Creating the same set of shortcuts beforehand and keeping them in a folder, and if external drive is not connected before launching GB by mistake, and all the shortcuts are gone from GB, drag all the shortcuts from previously created folder to GB??????

 

Will it work? :roll:

 

Cheers.

This seems to be a wise and practical solution. Thanks enoskype.

I will proceed creating my set of shortcuts.

 

Next time I get "distracted", I will try your solution. Thanks again.

Not at all Drag! :-D

 

If the time comes that you may have to use the probable drag (Drag) 8-) solution, please let us know if it works.

 

Thanks and cheers.

Of course I'll do!

 

Cheers! ;-)
