nmonkman Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Never had this happen before.I spent the better part of today working on a sequence for a customer. I had saved it periodically throughout the day.I wanted to copy and paste from another sequence so I opened that one up, but it was not the one I wanted. I went to close it and open the other and then I got a message that LOR stopped working and needed to shut down.No biggie, right? WRONG!When I opened it back up everything was gone. 7 hours of work just gone. I tried to use the .bak file and it was empty as well. The channel config was there but no sequecning at all.Anyone else experience this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMeBobO Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Can't say that has happened to me. But.. the bak file method is insufficient and should be improved. I have stared saving with a version number just in case.http://lightorama.mywowbb.com/view_topic.php?id=21676&forum_id=25&highlight=editplus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmonkman Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Dan,I am not sure at this point what happened. I remember that my wife was calling me for dinner and I said, "Let me save this just in case".I am not saying the sequence editor screwed up, but it is pretty strange. Maybe I just "think" I clicked saved.I just wanted to see if this had happened to anyone else. I do know that I was into my second day of working on it. When I opened it that morning, what I had worked on was still there so I should not have lost all of it.Perhaps if I was at fault, an auto save feature would be nice for power failures or whatever for version 2.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 one thing I often checkwhen going back is the last time the file was modified in the file folder to see if it's when I think it should be from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
