Is there a setting where I can revert to a previous version? If not, I’m thinking Dropdown with the option to revert to the previous Codex app version.
I’ve had issues in the past where a new version caused instability and dug around for the previous version. Would be awesome if we could just click a button and boom - stability.
Also, I’m new here and don’t know if this is the correct platform for Codex development.
Thanks!
Welcome to the forum!
As far as I know, there currently isn’t a revert setting in the Codex app.
You can check this GitHub -link and add your feature request also there:
GitHub is recommended to use when it’s Codex related, but it is okay also to post feature requests and other codex related questions/bug/issue reports here.
I added feature requests as a tag to this topic.
This might work.
For the last several months I have been running a deamon that keeps copies of changes to Codex, one of the changes it records is the *.exe files which lead me to search the .codex directory for where the *.exe files are located.
So find your .codex directory and then search that for executable files.
On my Windows 11 machine this is what I see
C:\Users\Groot\.codex\.sandbox-bin>dir /b
codex-command-runner-0.125.0-alpha.3.exe
codex-command-runner-0.128.0-alpha.1.exe
codex-command-runner-0.130.0-alpha.5.exe
codex-command-runner-0.131.0-alpha.9.exe
codex-command-runner.exe
Note: I do not run Codex via the Desktop App, I use VSCode with the Codex extension on native Windows 11.
hey @EricGT
the old versions are not there again .. some recent change are quite annoying and i’ll like to revert to some older version of codex.. on VScode extension
I’m not surprised to hear that.
Just to be clear, I’m not an OpenAI employee, so I can only offer this as an outside observation.
The best I can suggest is to check the Codex issue tracker, upvote any existing issues that match your concerns, and open a new issue if one does not already exist. If this matters to others as well, encouraging them to upvote or comment there may help signal the importance of the problem.
You should be able to do this with Codex CLI as you can with any npm package.
But be careful, as changes to stored state might render sessions useless or corrupted.
Installing a specific version from the app, play or windows store is simply not going to happen.
You might look at third party tools for your platform that allow you to install old versions of apps … but again you run the risk of compatibility problems.
I would personally “fail forward” and make sure you post issues or uptick issues on GitHub and help the team head toward stability.
