Unable to reopen a project

[NSqs]

Worked on a project today.  Went to go back into tweak it and whenever I press on it it opens the second screenshot that I’ve attached.

Pressing the three lines the only option it gives me is to rename.

No files in files to export to desktop.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Does it open the individual image when you click on it?

What version/release are you using? Rename has been removed in current release.

[NSqs]

Most recent version I think.

Odd that it shows 0 items where it should ordinarily show the image dimensions and colour profile....

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

That sounds like a good clue. Thanks! 

@NSqs: it almost seems like Barny Hartburn is a project, not a file. And that you haven't moved any files into it yet. But I don't know where that tile thumbnail comes from.

It is rather peculiar.  When i press the 3 lines i just get this rename option.

 

I think I’ve decided I will just reedit it as a new project trying to imitate the previous results.  I just want to avoid it happening again.

Also no sure how to delete it.  I may delete the whole app & start again.

Yes it available in Project folder to allow changing folder name. So, definitely a Folder. It contains 2 files. Each file has a 3 bar menu too. These allow you to save the file (externally). Files in Project folders are not “saved files” unless you have physically tapped the Save option. 

Try Saving the files to an external folder. You should always do this as the internal Home Screen (live Docs/projects) screen was only intended for temporary storage while working on a file, not as a file management area.

To delete a Project folder you will first need to delete or move any file inside the folder. Deleting is achieved by tapping the x icon on the top left of the file/folder icon. Deleting internal files will not delete the version saved externally, so you can always reopen the file again.

Deleting the app shouldn’t be necessary but keep in mind that deleting the app deletes the local app folder and any content you may have saved there.

Where do you see that? The screenshot seems to show "0 items" in Live Docs, and when it's opened in the other  screenshot there's nothing there.

Good point Walt. It seems the OP has reversed the order of attachments. I,e, “and whenever I press on it it opens the second screenshot that I’ve attached.”

The second screenshot actually shows two files.
 

It would appear to be a corrupted project folder or corrupted sandboxed file. It would be interesting to see what happened if another file was added to the project folder. If that other file was able to be opened then I would lean toward the first file being corrupted in sandbox.

@NSqs If you can recall any of the steps taken to get the files/document screen in that position please post here. If I can replicate it, I can pass it over to the developers to hopefully prevent it from getting in that state again.
