SigsCreations

I hadn't thought of locking the template. That is a good idea. I lock things in Designer all the time but just hadn't thought of doing it in publisher.

I've been working all day on a project when I opened another eps file. I wanted to see if I could grab a part of that design to add to mine in progress.
Before I started to alter it, I hit save. For some reason,  it did not save but instead crashed and shut down the whole program. I figured I wouldn't lose much and it would recover when it reopened. That is the way almost all of my other graphics programs work.
But it didn't offer a recover option. In fact, after it didn't I looked around to see what the save interval was set to. It looks like there is a save set to 300 seconds. So if it is auto saving. Where is my file? Why didn't the program offer to recover it?
I got a white text box just before the program shut itself down that said it got an exception error and it would give me something - details? But it didn't do that either. So I don't know what made it crash or if I am going to have to give up on the project I was doing since it would take me too long to recreate it all. Yes, I did save a part way done version but the last bit I did was really fiddly and not sure it is worth my time to redo at this point.

Once again I have closed out the wrong image in AD!!!!
I do this WAY too often as there simply isn't enough contrast between the active and the inactive image. Either a different color or a bit more contrast - PLEASE.

hmmm. Ok, I'll look into those. Any I've used in the past won't work with Windows 10, so thanks for the names.

Thanks. I have used PSP since back when JASC owned them. I quit at version 11 because I didn't like the direction Corel was taking with the program. It seemed more geared to photography than general graphics. But I did recently buy PSP 2018 when I couldn't get Affinity to do what I needed. That's not to say it won't or can't but I couldn't figure it out and so went with what I am more familiar with.
I'd say 90% of what is on my computer is graphics or graphic programs and it is pretty normal for me to use 3 or 4 programs on one design. (I have 4 external drives and just maxed out another - sigh)
I just bought another program because the filter I used a LOT is no longer available and even running PSP in 32-bit mode, only a couple of my hundreds of filters work. This filter is built into this program and it wasn't a bad price to pay for a filter and I got the whole program. It is, unfortunately, another that Corel bought out and is no longer going to support or develop so hopefully Microsoft won't upgrade windows again to the point it won't run.
I give the script a play with later today.
