I've had a new problem develop and nothing had changed (to my knowledge) on my Mac. And it's (literally) a show stopper!
Yesterday evening, everything works. I come back a few hours later, open xLights, and I'm greeted with the error message "Unable to load RGB effects file ...creating a default one" (screenshot attached).
I press "OK" and then I'm greeted with an empty Layout Tab (screenshot attached). No house, no props, nothing!
The ONLY way I got it to read my RGB Effects file was uninstalling xLights from my Mac, restarting, and reinstalling xLights.
Then today, a repeat of yesterday.
I've attached logs taken this morning.
I'm on MacOS 10.15.6 (Catalina). xLights 2020.35 (latest version as of this post).
Thanks for any help!
UPDATE: I have uploaded a backup RGB Effects file that will work if I copy/paste it into my show folder, BUT, xLights will corrupt it. So...I obviously am keeping it in a safe place.

Wow, Keith, thanks! 1,000,000 thanks! ;D
I don't know what I did to that file, but you fixed it!!
Any clue on what I did (so I don't do it again)?

I think you upgraded and then downgraded.
