Error Opening File

Hi there, just recently found seamly and im not sure if im posting in the right way. If not I apologize.

I created a file yesterday and now I am having trouble opening it. I get a critical error message.

I tried attaching the file but got a message that new users cant upload attachments.

Please help. Thank you in advance.

Hello and welcome to the Seamly forumm, @NativeBeeCo

It doesn’t matter how you post, we’ll find your post when we come online.

And no, new users can’t upload attachments - it’s to prevent people from spamming on our forum. I’ve bumped up your user level a bit so that you can now upload the files. Please attach them in a reply.

I suspect that the version you have installed is a slightly older version which had a problem. Please install the latest version of Seamly - see the link at the top of this page - which will prevent this from happening again and one of us will repair your file. Hopefully it is the problem that I’m thinking of.

Other than the fact I don’t have the logo image… the pattern loads fine me. Can post a snapshot of the error dialog - it may help us figure out what the issue is?

I’m a bit baffled at the momment. The dialog indicates an xml schema validation error, and yet I have no issue opening the pattern with the same build ver it was written in. If there was an issue with the pattern file I should be getting the same error. Hmmmm.

I’m not getting an error, either.

However, I did see that the point between the 2 curves at the front neckline wasn’t included in the pattern piece, so I’ve added it.

Please check if you’re still getting the error on this file:

Shouldn’t matter. It’s an xml valadation error. I think the problem might be with the image file since that’s what’s different - we’re not trying to load that image file. I think the issue is having spaces in the png file name. That’s why I never use spaces in filenames.

Try and see if this opens: FRIEDA JACKET COMPLETE_rev2.sm2d (18.0 KB)
