gianni.brienza Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) Since three days every file I created won't open anymore because an error message that claims "file seems to be damaged" Is it a very annoying bug! I attach one of the last file.. Publisher Version 2.2.0 on Windows INVITO.afpub Edited September 27, 2023 by gianni.brienza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted September 28, 2023 Staff Share Posted September 28, 2023 @gianni.brienza To confirm this is happening with every file that you've created? If you open the app, create a new file and save when reopening the file you receive the same message.? Was these files last opened/saved in the previous version (2.1.1) and then after updating to 2.2 you received this message? Are the files saved to a local location, an external drive or cloud service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianni.brienza Posted September 28, 2023 Author Share Posted September 28, 2023 Hi, this issue only occurred for new files I created in the last 3 days. I had even created the attached file, I closed it and reopened it a few minutes later and it gave me the error. The version was 2.2.0 and the file was saved on the PC, even if the folder is synchronized with Pcloud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianni.brienza Posted December 3, 2023 Author Share Posted December 3, 2023 SO, WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are still getting file corruptions on NEW files (not previous ones) disable pCloud synchronisation for wherever you store you Affinity documents locally Also, don't store/save your Affinity documents directly to pCloud (if that's even possible) Then see if you still get file corruptions on documents created from that point forward (we need to eliminate pCloud synchronisation as a possible cause) Don't forget to periodically backup your documents to another drive (not a synchronised cloud service) just in case you need to restore something later Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

NotMyFault Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 On 9/28/2023 at 9:10 PM, gianni.brienza said: even if the folder is synchronized with Pcloud. Don’t save in folders with cloud sync active. The best way to avoid corruption issues is to save on non-removable internal disks or SSD where no cloud sync is used.

gianni.brienza Posted December 3, 2023 Author Share Posted December 3, 2023 Ok, understood, but i NEED to recover many "corrupted" files right now... And to complete the information, files synchronized on mega have no problems, only those with pcloud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like pcloud has the problem, then, if mega works. I'm afraid I don't have any good suggestions for recovering the corrupted files, though.
