update after a live troubleshooting session:
The error was caused due to an “in between” state where local settings backup was an empty folder. This empty backup caused all settings to be wiped out when opening Orkestra in Rhino. It is not 100% clear how this happened but it may have something to do with us switching from a reset of the local settings at Rhino startup vs at Rhino closing previously.
To fix this :
- Close Rhino
- Remove the empty local backup folder in AppData\Roaming\Orkestra\RhinoTempSettings
- Bring back local plugins and user objects in %appdata%\Grasshopper
After this, Orkestra is able to backup local settings and switch to deployed environmenets again.
Thanks again for the super helpfull feedback @nlundberg !
