Menu Scripts Custom Actions Broken

TDBAGZ

All (2yrs) of my Custom Actions saved to the Scripts Menu are now showing as (ie: "?? 1234-4321-1234-4321 ??")

Corrupted during a Save I think. Tried reloading previous version of Layout, and updateing meta data while logged in through studio, same problem.

Any Ideas on how to fix?... or SOL

Those are the unique identifiers generated when you create a custom action and stored in %AppData%/daz 3d/Studio4/customactions.dsx . The GUID is what is stored in the menu/toolbar lists rather than the filename or script. If the customactions.dsx file is corrupt, or if the target items are no longer where it lists them (moved, or content directory no longer listed), then the menu/toolbar will not list the actions. Did you try an older version of that file? Have you checked that the files pointed to are still in the correct location, absolute or relative to a content diectory?

Inside the DS Window Workspace Customize Layout Actions "Custom" actions is listed first but blank no actions there except one added after.

The Appdata customactions.dsx only shows the one added after. 

There's no system restore point, or file restore version avalible.

The only known actions taken prior to corruption/error were a hanged save with V3Digitimes Super Saves Save Over Pro, and install of Latest Blender Version.

200 script Layout intereations saved the last 10 kept as back ups. But, it dosent matter because all the actions are just overwriting 1 customactions.dsx file  

Workflow, just POOF gone.

Unfortunately if you don't have a back up you will have to recreate the actions and then rebuild the menus, as they will almost certainly not get the same GUID as before. One done make sure you do take back ups of the Appdata folder for DS as that has a lot of configuration details (as does the one for Install Manager).
