MoretaAlberto Posted November 15, 2023 Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) Affinity Publisher v1.10.6.1665 Windows 10 Hi, I have two affinity publisher V1 projects: - A: the main document I'm working on. - B: a project where project A is linked so I can preview the changes. Yesterday I was making changes to my affinity publisher project A. I made sure that I saved those changes, I also know because the file was linked in another project (B) and I needed to save it in order to update the changes. Today, when I opened the project, it was in the state that was a couple of days ago. I missed all of yesterday's changes. I checked the AppData autosave folder and there is no autosave for this project. This makes sense as the project didn't force close. Is there a way I can verify what happened to the file and how to recover it? From the project B (where project A was linked) I can still see the latest version I had of project A, but when I double-click to open the linked file I see the project as it was a couple of days ago. Please, any help will be appreciated, Alberto Edited November 16, 2023 by MoretaAlberto Added software versions Quote
Staff stokerg Posted November 16, 2023 Staff Posted November 16, 2023 Hi @MoretaAlbertoand Welcome to the Forums, 10 hours ago, MoretaAlberto said: Is there a way I can verify what happened to the file and how to recover it? If you can upload both files, A and B, I can it with the Developers to see if there's anything they can recover, but this isn't a quick process and could be some time before a Developer gets a chance to look at the files. If you don't want to attach the file to the Forum, I've created a Dropbox link here. Have you tried opening the Linked file directly on its own (so project B closed) and does it still show the older version? Quote
MoretaAlberto Posted November 16, 2023 Author Posted November 16, 2023 Thanks @stokerg, I have uploaded both files. Yes, that's how I figured out: I opened project A (with project B closed) and I was shocked when I saw a really old version. Then I opened project B as I remember seeing there the updated changes after saving project A. And yes, project B was showing the latest version of project A. I understand it might take some time. But it is the biggest bug I have found using Affinity. I have no idea how to reproduce it from scratch, I didn't get any error or anything, everything seemed to be saved properly the previous day, no suspicious issues. Also, it is not possible that I pressed Undo before saving, there were a lot of changes made in the document to not be noticeable that they were reverted. Quote

In File Explorer what is the "Last Date Modified" of Project A (not the Date Created") and does it correspond to the time yesterday, when you saved it This assumes you have not resaved Project A since then Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
MoretaAlberto Posted November 16, 2023 Author Posted November 16, 2023 @carl123 I checked, it was the time when it should have all the latest changes. But thanks for the suggestion. Quote
