I’ve encountered an issue where ALL settings in Rhino 8 are reset.
Everything; Aliases, Display Modes, Appearance… All settings i’ve made in _DocumentProperties are lost, which is extremely annoying and counter productive.
I do have Aliases and Display Modes saved so they can be reloaded but this is still not a sustainable workflow on the long run.
The problem also accured in Rhino 7, but the upgrade to 8 didn’t resolve it.
I’m not sure what data to provide, but let me know if anything could help to solve the problem.

It happens randomly. When I used Rhino 7, i think it happened 3-4 times, over at couple of years.
For Rhino 8 it only just happened for the first time since upgrading back in February.
So no, unfortunately it is not something I can provoke, at least I don’t know how to… Whether the plug-ins affect this, I cannot say.
It seems hard to test, as months can go by with no issues.
All my Rhino 8 settings has reset twice within a week.
First time I was at lunch, and when I came back to my computer, all settings (aliases, appearance, view modes… Everything) was reset.
I had a file open at the time, so here there was no closing or opening of the program just out of nowhere.
Second time (today), I was making adjustments to my template, and when I re-started Rhino to see the changes, boom… - everything was reset again.
Have you encountered other cases with this problem?
Can we do anything to look into this?
