Title: A Dragon ate my baby (patch stuff)

Dragon 4557 Known issues

    * Major Issue: A graphical error is making BPOs appear as BPCs and BPCs appear to be BPOs in escrows. This is a *visual* bug only. Do not purchase BPs via escrow unless you are sure of the contents. Players exploiting this bug will be banned.
    * Overview settings are erased after applying the patch.
    * Setting the default warp distance does not work. It automatically resets to 15km.
    * If you use the market button on the Neocom to toggle the market closed, the market will reopen when you next undergo a session change. (ie, dock, undock, jump)
    * The text in a buy order window will not display correctly if the window is part of a stack.
    * Hanger sorting may not always apply correctly when the hanger is opened.
    * Switching between the security status panel and skills panel in the character sheet will cause the skill names to disappear
    * The size icon (frigate, cruiser etc) is broken for NPC's in some missions, and shows them all to be cruisers

Patch notes are large and useless.  This bit is more important.

So I guess I haven't missed much since being gone the last day or so? Hope you all fix the bugs before I get back in game later today. Or maybe later tonight depending on whether I am conscious after this midnight shift.

how do you backup overview settings and other personal stuff like bookmark folders?

Where's it stored?

I think somewhere in cache/.
Did I read something somewhere about always deleting /cache before applying a new patch ?

I believe you have to be smart enough to make a copy of your cache folder, if the ingame chitchat is to be trusted.  Not sure why the patcher isn't that smart.  I started reading the official forums, but I have a hard time with that kind of thing.
