Topic: File erased

I am using Qelectrotech 0.5-b and the program closed by itself, like it does sometimes. and the file is now epmty (0kb my computer tells me) and the program crashes when i try to open it.
Does someone has any idea how to solve this problem. I really don't want to start again.
Thanks

Re: File erased

It bugged while saving, so isn't there a temporary file that stores the file while erasing the original, in which i could recover all the information?

Re: File erased

No tempory file sorry, but I used to increment backup on big projects or when I test functions, or hacking by save as to increment name.

Example :


ls -al | grep parc_bois

Re: File erased

You remember what action you make for to Qet crash?

"Le jour où tu découvres le Libre, tu sais que tu ne pourras jamais plus revenir en arrière..."

Re: File erased

No action, I just saved. but it was crashing a lot before that. mabe it's because i am puting a lot of images in the file. mabe it's too heavy for the program I don't know.
Or mabe I should try to reduce the resolution of the pictures

Re: File erased

Ok, i see.
When you import a image it is converted to base64 in code and in your project .qet, and yes isn't a perfect solution for a lot of big image.
Other problem, image converted is weighty than original.

Re: File erased

What do you mean  with the link?

Re: File erased

XML is not a format for storing images..
You can but you do prefer drawing element yourself. nomicons/smile
If you use 60 images and in high resolution in your project, perhaps possible crash..

Re: File erased

i tried this test in new project with ~ 90 folios and paste the same 270 Kio image in every folio....
i don't see any problem, but i use a machine with 16 Gio of ram,  big AMD eight core (FX8350), on GNU/Linux full 64 bit, now project  85Mio  weighs... Perhaps saving the same test on Windows 32 Bits machine can make a empty project..

The only bug i found : if we  don't save this project before, after putting all images :
interface no longer responds and don't ask menu to select folder and file to save, and you must kill Qet process..and lose your work!

Re: File erased

sometimes it takes very long, even halting other programs so be patient, and yes i have them about once every day in simple windows.
but it is a free program so why complain.
