Thanks for the suggestion.
Can you also copy the settings.xml to the new directory, beside the data file.
Does this solve your issues? When you start the new version of Wieldy, does it ask you for the password?
I only tested it with WM 6.5. Is the .NET compact framework 3.5 installed?

Thanks for the listing. With your project structure i could reproduce the bug.
The xml you have posted contains a error:

</Project><Project><Project><Id>25199e9a-ea4b-462e-8534-1c8e3e434d23</Id><Title>recast

It seems like the project tag contains a project tag. When Wieldy loads the data, it skips part of the file. I have fixed the xml in the file and all projects are correctly display:

Did Wieldy create this incorrect XML-Data?

Thanks for the flowers. Currently i have no plans on making the software open source. It's not that i dislike open source. No, instead i love the idea and in the past i worked on several open source projects too. But this time i wanted something which evolves only at the pace i decide.

I hope you will still enjoy the software ;-)
