It has happened several times now, I have sorted my collections and osu! crashes or I get a bluescreen after a while and decide to keep the craptop off.
I log back in the next day and it starts rebuilding the song database, I go and check my collections and they're all gone except for the ones that are saved in text mode (Favorites A & B)


1. Have a nice set of collections (Favorites A & B don't count)
2. Crash/get a bluescreen/do anything else to close osu!/windows abnormally.
3. Restart pc/osu! and wait a moment while osu! rebuilds the corrupt song database from scratch.
4. Check collectiosn and see how they're all missing except for Favorites A & B.(because they're textmode)


I don't have any examples because I can't really record the happening of a bluescreen and I don't know how to simulate an osu! crash.

Well.... I think it's pretty intended? If you crash, while program is doing something on text / database files, they'll mostly like be broken after you come back. It happens EVERYWHERE afaik.
But you can check out if you have collection.db in your osu! installation.

From my experience, this file is saved ONLY upon exit.... And it shouldn't delete itself, if you for ex:
Made collection
Closed osu!
Opened osu!
Made some more collections
Crashed
Afterwards collection from before second opening of osu! should not be affected D; (But I may be wrong).

Independently of how it works - you SHOULDN'T get crashed after all. I don't think it'll be changed.
You can use my tool to backup collections t/130512 :3

it actually sees the songs database as corrupt then and rebuilds everything, so the collections go poof

ooh thank you! I'll use that when I decide to make some collections again ^-^
I can't really prevent crashing because my crappy laptop is pretty beaten up and crashes every now and then, and I'm too poor to buy a decent computer right now so this is great! :з
