[Peter mentioned he hadn't seen my email - aha! Because it wasn't sent from the right account. Sorry for any dupes.]
Sorry about dropping that, we're in the beta bomb run and I have many many emails which haven't been answered ... and since someone keeps helpfully adding new beta-blockers to my list, I doubt I'll get on it this week :-). While debugging the profile to see what's wrong is a good thing in and of itself, beyond potentially learning how things are broken, what is your expected end result? If your goal is to have a working profile with as much saved as possible, you probably should copy the default profile for safe-keeping, and start a profile of delete something, start Chrome, check behavior, rinse/lather/repeat until you find the offending file. Then restore from the default profile and delete the file which fixed things and see if that unblocks you. If you're lucky, it will just be the Extensions dir or Extensions Cookies file. -scott On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 1:35 AM, PhistucK <phist...@chromium.org> wrote: > I have a corrupt profile. > Scott Hess wanted to know about these kinds of things, so I e-mailed him > more than a week ago, but he did not answer. > Is it still interesting and if so, who should I contact?
