is there any possibility to avoid the backups files to create ? I lost files because of them.
I have a LOT of different versions of the same file it’s not useful at all and now I have a new file created .sm2D.YICijQ. And none of them is the one I’ve finished, they’re all empty and I’ve lost hours of work. The file arkanthia2.sm2D just vanished for no reasons and the correct file .sm2D.YICijQ also. Is there any way to go back to the old way with just one file ? And I know I’ve save my work there is no way I didn’t. How can I go the the old way ?
You shouldn’t lose files because of the backups. The backups are saved in your backup folder. The pattern files are saved in what ever folder you saved them in. Don’t set your back folder to your pattern folder, and Don’t save / save-as your patterns to the backup folder. The backups are only temporary.
But all the backups are saved in the same folder as the other templates, same for the measurements and I have a lot of same files that are broken and a lot of them don’t want to open correctly. And sometimes they just disappear from my folder once I’ve tried to open them. I’ve absolutely lost my own measurements this way I have to take them again. It’s unbearable to work with all this backups. Can you please change the way it works to avoid all of this ? I don’t know how but before the backups it worked well.
I want to open a pattern and the software cannot find the measurements for I don’t know what reason. So I click “retrieve the measurements” three times and find my measurements three times. and the software close itself. And now my measurement file is gone from my file.
