Error Parsing File - Help! (also can't upload)

Hello, I’m having trouble with my pattern: I keep getting the Error Parsing File on opening and the file is now unusable. Arrgh. I’m pretty sure it stems from me joining two pattern peices together, because there was a line missing and another that didn’t belong after I had done so. Anywho, please help :sweat_smile:

I’ve tried to upload the files but keep getting a popup that new users aren’t allowed to upload things. So if someone could give me a hand with that, too, please… :smiling_face_with_tear:

I bumped your level up so you should be able to attach pics / files now. Also if you could provide the build version of the app (help->about) it may help us. It may just be a case where you have an older version with bugs that have been fixed.

I removed the Internal Path that the parser was errorring out on from the Union piece throwing the error, & it seems to work now:

Trigun Coat_edit.sm2d (213.4 KB)

:unicorn:

P.S. It would probably be good to update as well. Release 2025.12.8.212 · FashionFreedom/Seamly2D · GitHub

Every week on Mon @ 1:30 UTC time. Usually there’s some new changes / fixes every, but I’ve been under the weather the last few weeks so there’s nothing new the last few weeks. :frowning:

You can always “Check for Updates” throught the app via the Help->About memu:

BTW… for now I would avoid using the Union tool if the pieces have any Internal Paths. The 2 don’t play well with one another, and the Union Tool needs to be re-written.
