personal note

(1) What happened:
When I opened VX ACE's 'Manage Projects', it deleted my projects in 'Save Path' without confirm dialog.

(2) Cause
A file 'Game.ini' in project folder which includes;
  CreationDate= ***
  CloudDate= ***
  SteamOwner= ***
These lines are basically appear in the project folder downloaded from Steam Workshop.
Deleted projects were originally copy of Workshop projects and were edited.

VX ACE checks 'Game.ini' and, if it finds strange lines, automatically delete whole project folder without warning. It is a bit of...

(3) Solution
Avoid to copy workshop projects.
With copied folder, delete these lines or overwrite by default 'Game.ini'

('w') < don't forget to back up.
