Hi folks, I’ve recently upgraded to RM10 on my Mac. I changed the colouring to purple. When I’m working on it, it will suddenly close itself and when I reopen it, it will have reset itself to the green colour. It also doesn’t safe any changes I’ve made, so if I am working on it and don’t immediately backup every change, I lose the new information. It is extremely frustrating. I’ve never had this issue with any other version of RM. Any insight or help would be much appreciated, thanks! ---

Try deleting the Program Setting XML file. It will clear your settings but should save when a new XML file is created. Program Settings - Mac HD/Users/(username)/RootsMagic/Version 10/RootsMagicUser.xml ---

Thanks Renee! I’ve deleted that now. Hopefully that sorts the problem! Happy Christmas!!
