transitdiagrams Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Hello! Yesterday I encountered a strange thing: I had worked on a file before and had closed it without any problem or message or crash etc. Than I opened it again and it told me that there was a recovered lost file. I opened that as well (I had no choice anyway as the "close" button closed only the dialog ...). But as it was exactly the one that I had already saved I wanted to get rid of this recovered file. That's the point I became awkward: I got trapped in the program as I could not close it until I would have saved the unwanted file. I think in that dialog there is a third button missing - the "no" option: My question is: Why do I have to save the file anyway ("The document will NEED to be saved before it can be closed." and "You MUST save this file.")? I resolved that issue by forcing the program to close through the task manager because I didn't want to create a temp file just to delete it afterwards. The original file works fine and has no issues at all. All the best, Chris PS: If you like maps you might also have a look at this community!PPS: Want to know more about me and my ways?

The folder it is stored in is a Dropbox folder if this might be important. But I had never had issues with this file because of that before.

VolkerMB Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Yes, same problem at my end, too. Total mess with untiteled documents and allegedly lost files. All original files were saved on an external HDD (no SSD), permanentely attached to the computer. (AD .284, Win 10) transitdiagrams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
