Dont remember the settings i used on a project last night

i have tried my hardest to locate some sort of “history” setting to see the recent changes made to my fill and line options to no avail.
i have my information in the console for the project but im unsure if anything useful can be deciphered from it or not.

“Stream completed in 18:39
<Idle|MPos:225.688,221.900,0.000|FS:0,0|WCO:0.000,0.000,0.000>
ok
Starting stream
Layer C00
[MSG:Pgm End]
Stream completed in 9:52
<Idle|MPos:225.688,221.900,0.000|FS:0,0|WCO:0.000,0.000,0.000>
ok”

this is what console reads for the 2 step project i did



i tried to replicate this using the same settings i “thought i remembered” and it didnt do anything similar

is there a history option that im just not seeing or am i back to trying random parameters?

If you saved the file once, LightBurn might have saved a backup file next to it.

If not, you should be able to recover settings by loading a ‘preferences’ (aka ‘prefs’) file.

In LightBurn, click File, wheel down and click ‘Load Prefs Backup’ ( It’s right near the bottom of the list. )
Select a backup file from the approximate time when it was working to your satisfaction.

it was a late night exploration of software session , i didnt save it at all until this morning after i changed the settings and got less than thrilling results lol but i do have the autosave intervals on for every 2 minutes. do those only start compiling new saves from the first time a project is saved or is there any way to continually go back or undo settings until i see the changes if i havent closed lightburn since last night ?

I don’t have the same system running under the same conditions but I would attempt the use of the undo button first. The Undo button may only bring you back to your last saved file. The backup file has likely been over-written with the unfortunate settings.

Prefs file is quite possibly the next step.
