A Mess
OK....I"m in some deep water here. I tried to install the 4.5b Beta 5 this morning. The beta would not launch. I thought "no problem, I'll just reinstall the release version." To make a long story shorter, but the time I arrived at evening I had no more beta and no more data files on my Mac. The tech support person said delete and I deleted. Still not in full panic, I assumed that I could simply move my data folder from my nightly clone of the drive back and I'd be fine. I'm told by tech support that I can do that and save myself the 8.5 gig download, but I would still need to reindex. Surely if I cloned the index from my drive, I can clone it back? Anyone with any experience here?
To make it more interesting, all Sunday's notes are tied up in the Logos cloud.
Wow....what a Friday. Should'a been the 13th.

Launching a Logos Beta updates version inside SQLite database files.

After SQLite database file version is updated, stable version will not launch.

If have complete copy of your Logos 4 folder and application, should be able to restore to same user and location.
Wiki has Quick Installation onto Multiple Macs => Duplicate Logos 4 Mac Installation
Also, wiki has Mac Troubleshooting => Uninstalling Logos 4 Mac that includes other files and a folder in step 2 to restore or delete (especially logos4 folder: ~/.mono/registry/CurrentUser/software/logos4 )

Thanks Alabama24 and SFJ! I was able to remove the beta, reinstall the stable release and copy my resources and indexes from my clone drive and it all worked. What a mess. That will teach me to play on my production account.
They (I) really should pay you for technical support. Really.

Best "payment" would be prayers for honest work that glorifies God; we are seeking God's direction in our lives. Personally Thankful for God's wondrous love. [:D]
