Error message:
Cannot load one or more shortcuts - the filter file could not be found.


I'm getting this message on starting up FF after a reboot. Subsequent restarts do not display this message.

Is there any way to get rid of it? How can I find the specific filter file that is missing?

A shortcut in Favorites is pointing to a non-existing filter. How many Favorites do you have?
There is no simple way to find the missing file, but you can open the %APPDATA%\Filter Forge 4\Favorites.xml file in a text editor and compare the values of the Filter path tag to actual filter files on your disk.

Just one Favorite, and FF locates the file just fine.

Probably a hiccup from transferring the %APPDATA%\Filter Forge 4\ folder from another machine. Deleted the Favorite, and it appears the error message is gone for good now.

Ok, this still happens with no favorites defined at all (and the Favorites.xml deleted btw). The cause must lie elsewhere.

Please try deleting Recent.xml and/or System\Newfilters.xml as well.
