Save project issue

Not sure why, but I am 100% sure, I have a saving issue. I saved project, and package, and everything that can be saved, but still I lost work. It happend to me twice, ones I lost like a 3 hours of work in Element graph, I have package and two element graphs in in. I worked in second graph, creating second material in package, I found out next day that all work is lost, so I start again and saved all, turned off the InstaMat, all ok. I did that like a 3 times always after half a hour work, but the last half hour work did not save. I am sure this should not happen. It is disappointing.

Hello @Sevi and welcome to our community!

This indeed shouldn’t happen and we didn’t come across such an issue yet. Thank you for reporting.

About saving, please check out this knowledge base article: Saving Files to Disk in InstaMAT Studio | InstaMAT Documentation

I’ll report your issue internally and we’ll take a look into it.

Thanks!

Hello debe, thank you for response, I do not know why happend this save issue to me, but I was opening the project from the menu when you start the Instamat there is list of last projects, but when I open the project like that it will not open the package, it is confusing. Now I opening the package always the first and I hope I will not have that issue anymore.

Hello @Sevi,

Thank you for the hint, we’ll look into it.

Thanks!

The saving was verified to be robust.

This likely has to be because a graph was opened from the user-library and then “save package” was used instead of “save project”. If you open a graph from the (user) library, saving the graph directly saves the relevant package.

I recommend using “Save All” to ensure you always save all open projects.
