It's advised to reboot your Windows computer before installing version 4.6.0 (or newer) after using version 4.4.0 or 4.2.0.

Versions 4.4.0 and 4.2.0 would install some fonts globally on startup. This was a mistake from me for two reasons:

- The fonts had some rendering issues in the pedigree
- The font files would be locked until the next reboot and start of Pigeon Planner

The last point means that uninstalling those version might cause issues as the files couldn't be removed or replaced. Rebooting the computer will release them.

Thank you, Timo! It's working fine after the reboot. Love it! You definitely are a game-changer!

There must be something wrong with my pc!!! I install the new version 4.8, done as recommended, but when i started the program there is no data, and when i tried to install a saved copy, a error appears!!!
I use this app since 2013, in 10/2023 i had a problem in my computer and i lost all the data, i installed the program but it doesn´t accepted the copy that i had in a flash drive!!!
I don´t want that to happen again!!!

Can you send the automatic report when the error happens? Also try to recover from a backup. You can always send the backup file to me if it doesn't work and I'll have a look.
