12.1.2 Marks disappeared
I just updated from Exp x64 12.1.1 to 12.1.2 and all Marks have disappeared. How do I get these back? If I click Marks/Edit Marks all the marks and route columns are blank. Thanks in advance for any assistance which can be provided.

Re: 12.1.2 Marks disappeared
They shouldn't have changed from 12.1.1 to 12.1.2.
If updating to v11 or v12.0, the marks file format has changed, but Exp should automatically import the old one.
The marks file (default is marks.xml) should be saved to the Expedition Archive, so the easy option is probably to get the last one from there.

Re: 12.1.2 Marks disappeared
The marks.xml file exists in archives from yesterday and today, but not earlier. Marks.dat exists in all archives from early September onwards, all with the same early September date. If marks.xml is removed from /Program Data/Expedition and Expedition x64 is opened there are no marks or routes in the Edit Marks screen. If Import is clicked and Import Legacy Format is picked, and then Marks.dat picked, still nothing shows in the Edit Marks screen. I'm guessing the data is in the old format in Marks.dat but I can't figure how to get it to read into 12.1.2.

Yes, the import button on the Marks ribbon is how you can import data from old marks.dat files.
If it doesn't import anything, the marks.dat file is probably empty. You could email it.
