Issue with losing Regex filters

[bigi]

I had this same problem with the replace section before and it was due to the variable type - so i suspect it's the same issue here!

I've got a large set of regex filters - including some additional comment lines (I've raised a request about this in the suggestions forum!)

these all work great and save fine - UNTIL i try and use another set of filters. for example, sometimes i wish to use the simple regex function to change the order of specific filenames - ie move the label number from the front of the string to the end etc. When i do this, it completely loses the normal regex list I have - the only way to deal with this is to reload a backup file again. In total i currently have 140 lines, as i'm using regex to try and simplify the replace section as i hit the limit on this a while ago and last post I think you were still trying to figure a way to extend the registry storage! I've included my regex list below - If you can help that would be great!

Hi Admins

Any progress with this issues please? It’s a pain atm!

Thanks

[bigi]

So I've hit a hard limit on the regexes now, such that when i save them and reload the file with them in, they are all stripped bar 4 entries. this is what happened with the replace section and you changed the variable/reg key type. Any chance this can be looked at urgently please? i've not heard anything for a few months and chased it a few months ago as well?

[bigi]

Not sure whats going on with support but i'm now at a point i'm having to restore the regex filters on every reboot because they are corrupting on save and reload - due to the same issue of registry variable type as was fixed last year for the replace section.

I've just had to spend 4.5 hours trying to piece together my regex filters because it truncated and corrupted them all again

I've emailed the support address twice but had not response and i've had this relatively small fix raised since February now (along with a couple of non-urgent suggestions/nice to haves now we are forced to use Windows 11)....

Can at least this issue be hotfixed please?

[therube]

I'm thinking this is going to be the same issue as with, (also your post) Bug: Rename replacement entries corruption.

That there exist some (non-declared) "maximum" or some sort of length or number of items, or whatever, causing corruption.
(And if not "maximum", then a logic error in the code dealing with the storage/update of these data sets.)

[bigi]

Yes it is related the variable type used to store in the registry I believe - that’s what fixed the replace section
