My projects just disappeared

[C O O L]

I logged into windows, one of my projects was open. I pressed close and go back to project list, then the new project list has some godot demos I didn't have before, REMOVING MY PROJECTS! What happened, and can I reclaim them?

I'm going through the local files trying to get Godot to recognize the projects again, the data is still there.

I don't know why this would happen, but it sounds like your editor settings have been lost, so it no longer knows about the location of your projects.

The editor settings should be saved in editor_data/editor_settings-3.tres file in Godot's installation folder in your Steam library.

Note that if you used to use Godot outside of Steam, and are now using the Steam version, they have different editor settings and that would explain why you can't find your projects (and instead find the demos which are preloaded with the Steam distribution).

Thank you for replying, it means a lot. My settings were indeed lost, but luckily all my projects were still safely stored in a backup folder and re-added. Everything is fine now. I still have almost no idea how it happened, considering I've only ever used it through steam.

Use scan in the project list to get reclaim them all at once, assuming they're in the same folder.

This has happened to me the second time, after download from the asset library. My editor settings have also been reset.
