Hi. Can you check C:\Users<username>\AppData\.emerald? aAl keys and wallets are stored as plain files now, no sub-directories per chain anymore

Thanks for the answer.
I have 4 wallets. 3 ported from Jaxx.
1 created a new one. Found 3 files of "key" type in the directory. Opened each one through wordpad, but there are no private keys in them.
And most importantly, where is the 4th file of the "key" type?
And where else can I see the private keys for wallets?

.key file is actual private key, for imported wallets. For standard wallets it uses only .seed file, so you don't see key files for standard wallets.

Did you migrate from previous version of the Emerald wallet, or have a fresh install?
