The purge loop problem has been corrected. However, I don't think the per-file conflict rules have been carried over. I reverted to version 1.9.12 and it is back to normal.
I am having the exact same problem. This update has destroyed everything. Obviously there is some kind of glitch. I hope this will be remedied as soon as possible.
VORTEX has the ability to manage conflicts on a per file basis, but with the update, everything is back to default. Is there any way to restore this? I am no longer aware of where or how it was changed. I'm having trouble.
