.DK. Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Normal workflow and file design for 3 years, file put away normally and now the file crashes AF PUB instantly dozens of times as I try things. Other files seem OK. File size is typical, so data is there and it even has a thumbnail. Can someone look at this fatal crash? Fixing it could save me hours of work, of course.

Circulus Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Where's the file stored? If on a cloud controlled folder or NAS or other external drive, please put it on a local folder that is not controlled by any cloudservice. If there are linked files inside the file, make sure these are also stored locally. Try again and open from the local folder.

.DK. Posted January 8 Author Posted January 8 Stored on Windows 11 C:\IDrive\DAYTIMER also tried open from desktop and from C:\ . Interesting that it crashes and leaves behind a lock file. Quote
Circulus Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Try to move the complete project aka all files to C:\Users\yourusername\Documents instead of idrive. Externally stored files can cause issues and may corrupt the files altogether. Quote I think Serif wants us to be only creative in finding workarounds to use their tools.

Mads Johansen Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Crashes in normal Downloads folder as well, location is irrelevant. Quote
.DK. Posted January 8 Author Posted January 8 Location does not seem to be the issue, especially no change ever where I keep these. I suspect it was cranky when I put it to bed, and I think someone should look at the code, because it's fatal. I'm carrying on my life, but one day's worth missing is frustrating if someone could recover all or part. I never, ever, keep external images. All is embedded and this file was not nearly the largest set of embeds by number or size. Quote

.DK. Posted January 9 Author Posted January 9 Giving me back all that work would be my best reward. I keep the images, but the content and layout I can't reproduce without hours of work, so I'm waiting and hoping. 😉 Quote
