Hey I updated cursor last night to 0.50.5 (i update regularly and whilst im not sure what version I was on before, it wouldn’t have been that outdated) and since; i’ve been unable to access any of my historic ctrl+l chats and their contents across any of my projects. Clicking on the history icon shows me all my historic chats with their titles, but when clicking on them it just shows “loading chat” then after a few seconds it stops and just shows a new chat with none of the historic convocations.
I’ve tried general trouble shooting but nothing seems to work. I am however able to access historic chats from chats i’ve opened post update, its just everything before the update is inaccessible.
I had really rich planning and context in a-lot of chats across a-lot of projects and really need access back. I’ve seen a number of similar posts but none seem to be resolved. Please if anything can be done, if its in any hidden folder let me know. I really need access to some of those chats again. As I said they still appear in the list of historic chats along with the title so I hope they are still actually there.
best thing to do is download/install the specstory extension then back up your chats to avoid catastrophic loss in the future.
unfortunately there is no clear direction on handling these issues on the forums, hence my post about needing more pinned guidance posts and clearer troubleshooting or grouping when many people have experienced the same issue with no solution. im sorry for the loss of those chats, that is a huge issue and i can share the struggle. hopefully specstory can prevent this from happening again in the future since cursor has not addressed it adequately after numerous complaints.
