[APBeta] AstroPlanner V2 Resources Data Lost

[Anthony Tripodi]

Hello Paul.

I just installed V2.0.1b2 into my MacBook Pro and, as I have occasionally before, lost the resource file. This is making me crazy. It has not inconvenienced me too greatly in recent occurrences because I have a copy of the file on my desktop for just such emergencies. 

It must be me because I have only seen one other user's post reporting this loss happening to them, but it's frustrating none the less. Here's what happens: you report a new build is available and I use the link to access it. I download the new build, open the file, and it appears as a virtual external drive. I double click the virtual drive and drag the AP icon to my application file as instructed. Then I open AP and, as if some unknown alien force has commanded, the setup window appears. I know (from experience) that this window is the kiss of death.

What can I be doing wrong? When I close AP I don't always save the settings, but there is, as far as I can tell, no correlation to the loss of data. I'm not going to give up... I never give up. Never. But I would like to know what's happening.

PS: I have not read the entire manual yet, but what I've read so far is far and away better than most. Nice work, Paul.
