Good day.
I installed a new version. There were no problems with the conversion of the project. Backup save folder has appeared. Thank you all for your help.

Ok good

For you elements library, nothing to do the library stay unchanged.
For the project it's another thing.
One of the big change of the 0.7 version is how the element texts are managed (you can add/remove text directly in the diagram editor and edit a lot of properties for this text) but the side effect is that project made with older version are not fully compatible with the new version.
Some text are not at the good position, other text are lost etc...

Open your project with the new version, check if everything is ok, if not two choice:
1: redraw the wrong part of your project with the new version.
2: if redraw will take a lot of time, finish your project with the old version, and start new project with the last version.

Another new feature with the 0.7 version is the backup file.
If QElectroTech crash, at next start a dialog ask you to open backup file.

I hope everything will be ok for you with the last version

Good day.
Now I understand why I do not have this folder. I have now installed QElectroTech V 0.70-dev+svn5733. Now I have another question. What will happen when installing a new version with my library of element and how will the project be converted?Copies I have already copy projects.

If it's not already the case, download the last QElectroTech version (0.7 rc1) and check again if you got the directory at

C:\Users\Carugin\AppData\Local\stalefiles\QElectroTech

to be sure the directory will be created, launch QElectroTech and open an existing project (not create a new one).

Another thing to test, launch QElectroTech open an existing project (make a copy before to avoid a new lost) then open the system monitor of windows and force QElectroTech to close (at the point of view of QElectroTech, it's like a crash).
Then relaunch QElectroTech, a dialog should appear and ask you to open a backup file.

You started well your Carugin session, and not a public user?
I tried on Win10, Win7, ReadyToUse and installer and I always saw stalefiles\QElectroTech when a project is loaded.

Edit : stalefiles folder on Users/User_name AppData Local exist only on 0.7-Rc1, not in 0.6X versions.

Today I worked all day with the program. There were no errors.As for the directory, I cannot find this folder anywhere.:)Maybe I already became blind.

Checked appdata folder and there is no stalefiles folder.
Event viewer shows this critical error code "0xc0000005" on app crash.

My setup is i7-7600k/16gb ram and windows7pro 64bit and just noticed that I have service pack 1.

As I wrote at the beginning. After this error, the size of the project becomes zero. I understood, that this problem is not only me.

The first time I was lucky that two projects were opened at once. I was able to restore it through the second project. After that, I began to make copies of the project.

Did you see here if there is some files ?
C:\Users\ your_username\AppData\Local\stalefiles\QElectroTech

After a crash when you start again QElectroTech, did a dialog ask you to open a recovery file ?

Ok for this bug, I found it.
Until I fix it (and even after, they will be better), for the elements who disappear when you open a project, open the element in the element editor, and for every terminal check if they position x and y are integer if not (for exemple x=1.02 y=10) move the element without holding the ctrl key, the terminal will be automatiquely snapped to the grid, and so have integer position.

For the other bug wich cause the lost of your project, the crash occur when you do special thing or totaly randomly ?
