this happened many times and still cant get the reason,
once it was my fault because i was tring to save the patch on a windows directory and without admin rigths the .v4p was never save, but this time its diferent
i just started i new proyect, i made 2 nodes, when i dock them toguether and i rezised bouth windows to be sure that they keep dock next time i open the proyect, the file its save, but when i open it, its empty… but the code its still on the v4p!
i was able to get the proyect back by renaiming the root02~.xml to root02.v4p . but still i cant get the work around. any help ?
This happens sometimes to me too, only when I reload (when it’s recommended) a patch.
After a Shift+Alt+F4 hit, every thing then is fine, when reloaded.
I’m gonna dump old vvvv version installed, since I have experienced other odd, not replicable (since it seems they show up in a quite random way) behaviours; furthermore I think the problem is in my system, not in vvvv.
Anyway, running crack.exe and checking if everything was ok solved some issues.
fuck!!!
This just happened to me too. Again!!!
The ~xml. for this patch is not in the folder where it should be. the .v4p is empty and opened as a text file I see why it is empty.
thats super bad. would be intersting what you did and what caused the save error.
for that and other reasons, everyone should use a version control system like git for important projects, so you can always roll back to any previous commit. git can also be setup locally. no need for a server. and if you need one bibucket offers free private repos…
fortunately I’m an overly eager sub-patcher, so the damage is managable.
it’s the first time this save-bug seemed to happen to me in a long time. and right after I switched to 31.2. spoooky.
maybe it was some quirky saving error on my side due to heavy latenight patching. who knows.
will fire up a version control now. should have done that anyways.
