Retro 8.1 - Cannot restore individual files

[Johansen Sidabutar]

Thanks Henry, I'll keep an eye out for that. I use the console on one  
machine (i.e. the one with the engine installed), but  gonna install  
the console on my machine and my colleagues' machines in the next few  
days, so will soon see whether we will encounter that issue.


Cheers,
Johansen
