When you say "the newer version has a whole different options interface", you are speaking of the Rock version of Cartographer. Cartographer is one thing, Cartographer_QuestObjectives is something else: an abandoned separate plugin for it. The options interface comes from Cartographer.
Cartographer_QuestObjectives hasn't really worked properly since WoW 2.2.0; its been bugging out since WoW 2.2.3, no matter what database you use, new or old.
The original author (Overloadut) stopped updating it in March and no one has taken it over. A few minor updates by ckknight in the core code for Cartographer 2.0 compatibility back in September, but nothing since then.
Recommend disabling this due to its current incompatibilities with WoW and just going with Cartographer_Quests, which does work properly. You will no longer get objective points automatically put on your map, but it will record quest pickup points automatically just fine. You'll have to enter objective points manually.
I had the same problem, and now it's fixed.
when you load WoW, It creates a new 1kb file and replaces the big Cartographer_QuestObjectives.lua file you have with this new little one. The new one has a line of code in it, that the older file does not. It looks like it needs that line in it now, or it will replace the file with that crappy 1kb version.
to fix, just add the green text below to your lua file in the same location (at the top, right after: Cartographer_QuestObjectivesDB = {

for a version of quest objectives database making sure you choose your faction.
Upon merging the two I had I came up with a wonderful database.
Exported back overwriting old file and it works like a charm after that. Would suggest after your done though to make a backup.
Had to do this twice now for one reason or another for it to work.

Someone needs to take this mod over :).

},
}, ["factions"] = {
I basically just copy/pasted it into the lua file I want, and it now loads fine. whew!
Has this fix been verified?
Thanks in advance,

Not sure but would love to know also. my QO works sometimes then sometimes the icons disappear. it's really a hit or miss.

Curse PremiumCartographer Merge Tool (CMT) is a Java application which can be used with Java Web Start:

I imported the file in my saved variables and then luckily I had a back up version and I imported that. If you don't just check this thread
