DarkClown Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 It happened to me a couple of times now: When trying to save a publisher document I've been working on for longer I suddenly get this message: Mostly an older recoveryversion was found and could be restored. But when trying to save this recovered version with the same file name the old file is still "blocked" (write protected): It's not a bug that is easy reproducable. It just seems to happen accasionally. Still changes were lost when the first message comes up. Even if access to the file is lost I at least should be able to do a "Save as ..."

MikeTO Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Hi Timo, I just noticed this post. Are you still experiencing this issue with v2.0.3? Where are your files saved to?

DarkClown Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 Haven't been working with APub since. Files were (I assume) saved on a network drive - but the network connection was not lost.

Files were (I assume) saved on a network drive - but the network connection was not lost. Comment: AP is Affinity Photo. If you mean Publisher, that is Publisher, or APu or APub. (You can hover a mouse over the underlined abbreviations to see what they mean.) I see this has been tagged with a bug tag, so someone from Serif has probably looked at it.

DarkClown Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 Thx, Walt - of course you are right. I meant APub! I corrected it. walt.farrell 1 Quote i7-12700KF, 3.60 GHz, 32GB RAM, SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, Wacom Intuos 4 Tablet, Windows 11 Pro - AP, AD and APublisher V1 and V2https://www.timobierbaum.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
