Bug ID: 375126
Summary: Issues with saved files
Product: krita
Version: 3.0.1.1
Platform: unspecified
OS: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kimbab...@hotmail.com.au
Target Milestone: ---
I'm not sure how to articulate what I -think- has happened, but here goes. This
is the most major of several bug issues I've been having.
While working on artwork, I haven't had much trouble saving files - apart from
the actual method of saving, which is dangerously capable of tricking a tired
artist at the worst moments (Like when an artist is repeatedly rendering
finished images while also saving the document itself - nobody likes to find
out they accidentally saved the last hour's work in PNG's instead of nice files
with all their layers intact!)
However, I recently saved my file off a piece of paid work (!) - I had to do it
a couple of times, as I wanted to make sure I was saving properly. I saved as
new file; and just a little later, I saved over an old file as my latest copy.
I returned to open my file a couple of hours on, and my heart sunk. Instead of
my recent piece, it was still saved over the much older copy - little more than
reference shapes and shading info! Somehow, it seemed to have under-written the
file - as in, it saved the old file over the new one - strangely, the thumbnail
icon is displaying an intermediate stage with lineart, yet that detail is
missing from the file itself.
After a mild panic, I found there was still a very recent autosave. Thank the
Krita crew, for a decent autosave feature! Still, I'm trying to work out where
my file went - no doubts that it saved, because the "new" old copy is a newer
file than any of my others. It's got me worried about being able to work in
this program in the future; a great program, but it is too risky for my tastes,
to have my work compromised like this.
There could be some more useful details to this story, especially around the
time of saving - but I can't remember, as I only found out when I came back to
my work later on.
TLDR:
When trying to overwrite a .kra file I was working on, a very early draft copy
was somehow saved over in place of the new one; deleting all of the work in the
process.
