MeltingLead Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) Project loss after trying to save on affinity designer v2, this is the second time in 3 days on my ipad pro 12,9. Even after i have had saved previously, the project is lost. Just a blank file in my file. As if it deletes the project. Any info and solutions would be much appreciated because it is extremely frustrating to start a project that I’ve spent hours and days on from scratch….

Your Home Screen shows dozens of files retained in sandbox (this is intended to be a temporary storage area). The (M) next to a file name on Home Screen indicates file not saved. Tap the 3 bar menu and tap Save to create a ‘real’ file external to sandbox. Save this to a folder (other than the default app folder) and you will have a file you can access, backup etc. MeltingLead 1 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

I save on my icloud, and on an external hard drive 3 times a week. I noticed that the “M” next to a project name shows up, when there has been a change in the project, even after saving it. But a funny thing happened today. when exiting a project, there is always a load time before i can press save. After it finishes loading, i try and open the project again just to make sure its still there. Thats when i got the "Load Failed". Then i saved, then closed and reopened Affinity Designer = project lost. That was the first time i lost the project….. This time i didn’t save, and didn’t close Affiinity Designer, this morning i opened the app, it reloaded, then the project was back, but from where i saved last time!!! So the project is not completely lost after all. Is there a way to save directly, without exiting the project? Quote
