worst fucking piece of shit ever
i wish the children of all Extensis suitcase programmers would get automatically sucked into some obscure "vault" folder and removed and never seen ever again, preferably smoldering

My torrented version works just fine. What's wrong with yours?

mine crashes illy, installs fonts (instead just acivating them) and has error pop ups every ten minutes

I thought - finally, a good reason not to travel light.

i installed the shit about 2 months ago.
somehow, SOME WAY, the program managed to resurrect itself from the dead and magically transport about 3000 of my fonts into a billion micro-organized "vault" folders -- now i dont have the software anymore, and windows searching for font-file extensions is taking an hour and is almost freezing itself.
now i have to what, fucking redownload their piece of shit program and manually 'unvault' all of my fucking fonts?
WHAT THE FUCK.

oh, i meant to say i UNINSTALLED that shit 2 months ago.

I hear you, qruise... i'm using it... getting by w/it on my PC...
... but all that reorganizing is crap... cuz it still keeps all the duplicates etc...... lame...
... and it took me forever to locate 'the vault'... in which it's all stored...
... I recommend backing up all your fonts to another drive and NOT letting suitcase see that drive... but duplicate all the fonts and bring them over to a folder you don't mind... having disappear...
... yeah... it's kinda crap now that I've been using it for two months..
... also... some fonts that I LOVE... magically... don't work anymore?!
My entire DIN family is corrupted... but it's just as well - that fonts a bit prevalent as far as mass usage goes... so it's not hurting my feelings too much... 'cept when I need to update something I made a year or two ago that uses that damned font...
... anyone wanna send me a non corrupt version?... that's one of the fonts I didn't backup... grr...
... ;)

ive got suitcase reinstalled and im trying to undo its fucking damage.
however, there seems to be NO fucking way of copying all of my fonts back into the Windows/fonts folder from the vault... all it lets me do is "activate" them, which does not bring them back to the font folder, it just creates all these fucking shortcuts which do nothing for me.
how the fuck do i take all my fonts out of the vault permanentl and back into my fonts folder like normal?

I think it's going to be a 'by hand' process, qruise...
... i'm on vista... the 'vault' is located here:
C:\Users\userName\AppData\Roamin... Font Database.suitcasevault\primary
...not sure if you'd found the fonts... sounds like you were still trying to locate the vault?
... perhaps...
... grab that 'main folder' that holds all the fonts (even though they're categorized to hell inside that main folder)...
... install a new font program such as Linotype Font explorer - and point to that folder as to where your fonts are located... let it manage from there?
just a thought...
- qruise0
true. linotype has fixed it all.
applause to ye all

Our school had it. BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME. EVER. Error messages last forever, fonts are always missing (even system fonts), and other programs crash left and right. Our design department had a proven track record of janky application setup, but suitcase was completely retarded. AHHHHHH!! Thanks, I've been holding that in a few years.
