I lost everything with a update to Traktor 4.11.23

Good morning,

Following an update to Traktor 4 (I am now on version 4.11.23), I lost “everything”.

I lost:

* analysis of my 35,558 tracks from my Track Collection. I restarted an analysis but it obviously won't be finished before my New Year's Eve party this evening :-(

* all my archives. On my HDD in Documents > Native Instruments, the latest directory with the most recent version of Traktor is called "Traktor 4.1.1". In this directory, the "History" subdirectory is empty. So I assume that this Traktor 4.1.1 directory corresponds to the installed version 4.11.23. When I go to the slightly older directory which dates from November 2024, I find a "Traktor 4.1.0" directory where I can find in the "History" subdirectory my histories up to 2017. On the other hand, I have tried to drag and drop either all of these files "history_yearymonthmdayd_00h00m00s.nml" or file by file but it doesn't work :-( Does anyone know how I can get these archive files back into my Traktor archive so I can view them in the software?

* the display of the effects box of deck 2 which had disappeared because in preferences > Effects > FX Panel Mode, the option had automatically changed from "Group" to "Pattern Player". This point is therefore resolved.

* key coloring. It's okay, I put the setting back in the preferences too.

* shortcuts to my directories or playlists that can be assigned. No problem reassigning them via drag & drop.

* display of my tracks in small lines. Now I have very wide lines in height and before I had small, much more compact lines. Does anyone know how I can get the previous layout back?

* I think that's about it... I admit that I'm really nervous and I'm a little stressed for tonight's performance to run into other "problems".

Thank you in advance for your help and good luck to all those who are performing this evening for New Year's Eve.

I figured out how to recover my archive files :

I copied all the "history_yearymonthmdayd_00h00m00s.nml" files which were present in a "History" directory of an old version of Traktor (4.1.0) and I pasted them into the "History" directory of my new version of Traktor (4.1.1).

It works, I recover all my archives.

I also found to change the height of the rows.

You have to go to preferences > browser details > Editing > List Row Height and there you can move the cursor to choose the row height you want.

Inside the /Applications/Native Instruments/Traktor Pro 4/Backup folder, simply run the previous version. It will have your entire previous collection as it was.

Good of you to post your serial number for all to see! 🤔

You can also copy the previous folder, paste it and rename it to the current version.
