The unofficial Shadow Defender Support Thread.

The famous email:

Got the same e-mail yesterday

 

Which e-mail are you referring to?

 

I downloaded Shadow Defender today from their website, and I received version 1.4.0.665. http://www.shadowdefender.com/

 

Yes that is the latest official release. Not sure what the test build is all about. No change log or any other comments on it from anybody.

 

"SD1.4.0.668_Setup.exe" is available on SD server, you need to combine.
but you can also check here
http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5638-shadow-defender.html

there are more which have build 668 in its portfolio since mai-13th.

 

I'm not in a hurry, .665 is the best version I have experienced so far on two different laptops. When .668 is available in the SD website, I will certainly update...

I actually recorded it with my phone since I don't have a screen recorder installed right now so you guys can see, that anytime I try to commit a file it does crash but eventually it says it commited the file but it actually didn't

I will wait until build .668 has been tested more, and vetted.

 

Hi, Overkill has reported that his crash situation has gone. Tony attended to it in .668 update

Hi guys any upcoming sales for Shadow Defender? Thanks.

 

I'm getting tired of this happening...whenever I'm in shadow mode and I open chrome ( this happens randomly, not everytime but quite a bit lately with v .668 ) my bookmarks are gone and just a few minutes ago, both bookmarks and bookmarks.bak were gone from my chrome directory. I lost 3 days worth of bookmarks which wasn't alot, but it still shouldn't be happening! This bug is my main issue with SD.

 

Overkill,
> were bookmarks lost from the last time you exited shadow
> do you exclude or commit bookmarks

 

Yes to both, but sometimes I can either reboot or turn the computer on while still in shadow mode and my bookmarks will be gone

 

I usually backup bookmarks every few days, but looks like I will have to do it daily until this is fixed

 

When I first started with SD. I had Firefox options change & bookmarks lost thru Exclusions.
Since, I'll usually only Commit bookmarks. .665 has been okay.

 

It has happened to me several times in the past and even worse as all bookmarks disappeared. I don't exclude nor commit anymore, I just create a text file with all important new bookmarks which I commit before rebooting out of shadow mode, a bit time consuming but safe.

 

Some more examples of disappearing bookmarks:

 

I recall reading from page 1, ....after my Firefox profile went wonky.

Peter, I don't even go to a site since chrome starts with about:blank...my bookmarks disappear different ways...my bookmarks will be in chrome, then I could either turn the pc off or reboot and then start chrome and the bookmarks are all gone. I am glad in a way that i'm not the only person that is having this issue because it basically tells the developer there's a definite bug and not just one machine is having issues.
Also, I have started my machine and then open chrome and no problems with bookmarks, then maybe awhile later, I close chrome (I'll go do something else offline or on the pc) then eventually open it again and the bookmarks will be gone that way too.

 

I just export to an html file via bookmarks manager
