Windows 11 Issue?

Postby bigi » Thu Aug 21, 2025 9:55 pm

I have recently updated to Windows 11 from Windows 10 (God knows why!).

Amongst the many issues i've had to work round with this horrible upgrade, is an issue with BRU (latest version). It may be related to the OS because while I was running the most recent version of BRU with no problems before the upgrade, when i saved the most recent version of my config to a new file and loaded it into BRU on my new build, that is when i started having issues.

Basically the entire history of the search/replace config vanishes upon restarting - i have auto save set, and most of the time it behaves; but for some reason when i start up on a new day, and go to manage entries, all thats left is the last used one. it doesn't seem to affect any other setting - JUST search/replace.

Now as I've raised before, I have a LOT of settings in there (450ish at last check), but since the beta release you kindly sent me, that is no longer an issue.

I've just gone into BRU again for the first time today, and the .bru config file has shrunk from around 27-28k to 7k and i've lost all the changes i made yesterday. What i did find is that it seems related to to auto saved/auto loaded profile as i have tried saving a separate config when this has happened and i can load the other without issue....

Is there any update on this issue at all?

Just wondering if anyone else using a large (400+) rename list is seeing these issues and if it's happening on Windows 10 as well as 11?

It seems to have settled down for a couple of uses, but i've gone into BRU again just now and it's lost all the history of the Rename field and the bru profile file has shrunk from 26k to 8k again.

So these settings are stored in a .bru, & not in the Windows Registry?
(For something like this, I guess it must be the .bru.)

> search/replace

Do you mean, Match= & Replace= (in the .bru)?
Or in the [Replacements] section, Replace= / With= ?

Maybe post link to your 27k .bru?
And then what actions do you take where it truncates?

If I take (a bogus-ly self-made .bru of 5MB with [mainly] copies of
Replace="- | |-|-| (|(20*)|(19*)| [VINYL]| [VINYL]| [CD]| [CD]| [CD]| [CD]| [CD]| [CD]| [CD]| [CD]| [CD]| [CD]| [CD]| [CD]| [WEB]| [WEB]| [WEB]| [WEB]| (16Bit)| (16Bit)| (16Bit)| (24Bit) [VINYL] (19*)| (24Bit) [VINYL] (20*)| (16Bit) [VINYL] (19*)| (24Bit) [VINYL] (19*)| (24Bit) [VINYL] (20*)| (16Bit) [VINYL] (20*)| (24Bit-192k)| (24Bit-96k999)"
With="8"
(I have no idea if that is right/wrong or whatever, but...)

& File | Save As..., the newly created .bru is purged of those entries.


(Win7, BRU 4.0.10 & 4.1.00)

Hi Admin

I believe it may be something to do with multiple entries within the field - I've just tested now and replicated the issue.

This is the replacements field within the 25k file:
[Replacements]
Replace="20*-TT|20*-L$L|20*-wAx|20*-FALCON_INT|20*-FALCON|20*-JUSTiFY|20*-L4L|20*-AOVF|20*-WAVED|20*-BABAS|20*-SCMT_INT|VA_-_|VA - |HDmusic.cc - |(Maxi CD Single)|_|_-_|--|–|-(zzzzzzz|- (|?|[[|{|}|)[|](| | cd| Cd|(*Cd)|Flac|[* Vinyl Rip]|Vinyl Rip|[* Vinyl]|Vinyl|vinyl|-16BiT|16 Bit|16bit|16BIT|24 Bit|24bit|24BIT|2x12”|3x12”|7''|7 inch|7' |7' Singles|7” Single|10” Single|12''|12 inch|12' |12' Singles|12” Single|12” Maxi-Single|(Unofficial Release, *)|(Solaris Recordings [SLRS*])|(Solaris [*])|(Lost Language [LOST*])|(Hooj Choons [HOOJ*])|(Premier [PREMIER*])|(Made In England [MIE*])|(Pure Trance Progressive [PTP*])|(Pure Trance [PURETRANCE*])|(Black Hole Recordings [BH*])|(Deepblue Records [DEEPCD*])|(Touchstone [TSR*])|(Magic Music [MM*])|(Armada Digital [ARD*])|(Captivating Sounds [CVSA*])|(Molecule Recordings [MLCL*])|(Solarstone [SOLAR*])|[Capitol Records, *, USA]|Now That's What I Call Music!| 320 [elektrobeats.org]|-REISSUE-| Ep |-promo|-Promo|Dj|dj|Dj| X|tiesto|ocommor|Ocallaghan|Mcauley|basil oglue|Celine Dion|Various Artists -| dont | wont | wasnt | isnt | arent | its | Lets | Dont |(12”, US, *)|(12”, UK, *)|(12”, Europe, *)|(10'', UK, *)|(12”, Canada, *)|(12”, Germany, *)|(12”, Italy, *)|(12” Promo, UK, *)|(12” Promo, US, *)|(7”, UK, *)|(7”, Limited Edition, Germany, *)|(7” Single, Promo, Germany, *)|(12”, Promo, Limited Edition, *)|(Limited Edition Box Set, UK, *)|(Limited Edition *)|(12” Limited Edition, UK, *)|(12” Limited Edition, US, *)|(12” Special Limited Edition, US)|(2LP, Italy, *)|(LP, Europe, *)|(LP, UK, *)|(LP, US, *)|(LP, Japan, *)|(2LP, US, *)|(2LP, UK, *)|[2LP]|(2LP, *)|- LP|(US 12” Promo)|(US 12”)|(UK 12”)|(UK 7”)|(US 7”)|[UK CDM]|(Europe 12”)|(Germany 12”)|(Benelux 12”)|(Japan 12”)|(Australia 12”)|(France 12”)|(Germany 7” Promo)|(UK 10'')|(UK 10'' Limited Edition)|(UK 12” Promo)|(19*) [W Germany CDM]|(19*) [UK Release]|(Ltd.

Match Case=1
First Only=0

If i leave it on this entry in the program when closing, it works again next time. BUT If I change to use another set of changes (for example to add spaces around a dash) which i do through "Manage Entries" and choose from the existing list - THEN close the program, the file immediately changes to 7kb and i open it back and i only have the fash/space option left:

[Replacements]
Replace="-"
With=" - "
Match Case=1
First Only=1

I'm not sure if the history for the "manage recent entries" is stored elsewhere? As it seems that goign back in straight away, shows me the previous option to select again - when closing the file it goes back to 25kb with the first list. but it seems if i try to use it a day after, the entry vanishes. I'm assuming these are stored elsewhere? I haven't checked the registry, but there's nothing in the "usual" folders!
