Hi,
I just upgraded from 2.1.0 to 2.2.0 and Toucan won't start anymore. It pops up an error saying "There was an error reading from the jobs file" and it crashes.
Please help, I didn't backup the previous application version, and I really need Toucan!
Do you have a link to download the 2.1.0 again?
Thank you Alex

panic! Firstly take a copy of your Toucan/Data directory and store it safely
The download link for all old versions of Toucan is here. This may not work as the format of the jobs file did change between 2.1 and 2.2 so you might need the automatically made backups of the jobs file, jobs.old, just rename it to jobs.ini and you should be set 
Thank you Steve.
I was able to recover the 2.1 version, installed it and it works. I did not lost my Data folder.
You say I just should rename the jobs.old into jobs.ini and it should work? If it is so I will make a try.
Sorry, I was meaning ... now it all works as I reinstalled the 2.1.
What do I have to do to have the 2.2 properly installed and working? Is there a way to
convert the Jobs file so that the 2.2 does not crash?
am glad to hear it is working again under 2.1. As for updating I would try installing 2.2 into a separate folder and checking that it runs, then copy the jobs.ini file across and running it again. If it breaks you you mind deleting jobs from th jobs.ini file until you find the one which breaks it? I would love to know why is doesn't work for you!
