How do you undo the archive (SOLVED)
From what I understand by reading other people's post there's suppose to be a archive folder where I can undo the archiving. But I don't see it. My computer must be really messed up because it won't let me do the image location picker either, so how do I undo this? It's kind of annoying because even I can't work on my project right now.
Edited problem solved, thanks again Aleema

Re: How do you undo the archive
Bump
Could someone please help me with this? Because it's kind of like being locked out of your own house and I'm kind of itching to work on the project. If it's undo-able could someone show me a way to break into my own game so I can at least get the scripts out?

Re: How do you undo the archive
Well, it's supposed to be there. It might have gotten placed somewhere else by mistake. I suggest searching your whole computer for a file you know was in the archive and see where it shows up. If it DOESN'T show up, then that's a bug, and you should maybe tell PyTom.
Re: How do you undo the archive
Thanks Aleema got it fixed.
My computer is indeed messed up, so I could find it when I try to search for a specific file. But it just doesn't show it. Probably a issue with Window Vista...
Compare the two pictures lol

Re: How do you undo the archive (SOLVED)
Oh, hey, maybe it's a hidden folder? I don't have your operating system, but I have had XP, ME, etc and by default, it tries to hid the "hidden" folder and other folder settings to keep you from messing up core files. Check your folder options and see if there some sort of option that prevents you from viewing things?
Re: How do you undo the archive (SOLVED)
Once again you called it, I'm not a computer wiz so I don't choose any of the settings, it's all on default setting.
When I don't search for the folders it's hidden again
I can see that it is somehow set to hidden folder
It's working now!

Re: How do you undo the archive (SOLVED)
Even though the issue has been resolved, it can be good to know that you can view hidden files and folder by doing this:
Press "Alt" when viewing a folder, this will make a bar appear (below the search way). From there choose Tools -> Folder Options; choose the "View" tab in the menu that appears and look for "Hidden files and folders" in the list below and simply change it. Done.
EDIT: Damn, I should read post more throughly. I didn't at first see it was mentioned!

Re: How do you undo the archive (SOLVED)
This seems very important for people with your OS to know. What OS do you have? Vista or Win7? I need to add this to the FAQ.
Re: How do you undo the archive (SOLVED)
Window Vista, but I sure there are many people who run Renpy on Vista who didn't run into this problem. I might be just the odd ball.

Re: How do you undo the archive (SOLVED)
Don't be so sure! I've seen several people freak out after they archive their files, saying they have to start over, etc etc. It may be a more common problem than you think.
