blowndeadline 14 Posted April 2, 2014 I have been using graphic software for almost 12 years now. When you save it's saved. When you close a file it's closed and start a new project. I can't tell you how many times I have closed a file and started a new one then saved but it overwrites the recently closed file! Kinda frustrating to say the least. In most graphic applications when you start a new project a new project window opens. In SCAL, the same name is there and when you hit save it will overwrite your project and now your work is gone. I have had to redo a dozen files simply due to the odd ball way SCAL saves and starts new projects. When you close a layout window in every other app the window is closed but the app is still open allowing you to create a new workspace. In SCAL, the entire program closes. It's a functional program but opening, saving and creating new projects is kinda poorly done. Just venting! Mike 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blowndeadline 14 Posted April 2, 2014 The thing is you have to be careful when you open or create a new file, if you don't save you will overwrite the existing file. Guess I'm just trying to say that SCAL doesn't "act" like 99% of every other graphic application! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also can "save as" prior to exiting and not overright original work by changing the filename. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angie 0 Posted April 13, 2014 Hi Mike! I have been using Sure Cuts for about 6 months, and I never had this problem until recently. At first I had several files that part was missing, and the last two I created were completely gone when I opened them back up. Do you have any suggestions on how to prevent this? Thanks so much!!

blowndeadline 14 Posted April 15, 2014 I certainly don't Angie! I just make sure I save the file in different places now just in case something happens I'll still have a version ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angie 0 Posted April 18, 2014 I think I have got a fix. Whenever I am done with a file, I close down the program and save, then reopen to start a new one. I think that the problem was happening when I was opening a new file just after working on another, without closing the program. Something to try anyway. Thanks!!!
