Hey Piccolo, I had a file lost... again (build 0.5.6.1)
I was renaming one animation in Vega to "FOLLOW10" but since I already have a "FOLLOW1", once you start typing follow10 the tool autocompletes to _ALREADY_USED.
I've fixed it, renamed to follow10 and jumped to another entity (Willy) to copy a code and once I got back... two animations were
gone (follow5 and follow6 where simply deleted from the file).
I saw a save icon over Willy name (without me changing anything on it) and once I closed the tool, it asked me again to "save unsaved changes" on willy, but I declined it.
I think its the 6th or 7th time I've lost a file using CMT. Its a great tool, don't get me wrong and I and happy to have a new fool finally.
But there are two things I don't use on the this tool anymore because I am sure I will have trouble:
- Jump to another project (I do prefer to close the tool and open it again)
- Renaming an animation on "animation" tab (I do prefer to close, open it on notepad and rename it manually).
Based on my experiences, I am sad to say that I really don't advice anyone to use those cases I mentioned above (jump to another project or renaming animations), as they will surely cause a file loss.
I don't use the autobackup as I use dropbox, so I am able to recovery the lost data. But I am afraid this won't be the case for most users and data loss is a terrible user experience
I hope you find a solution for this.
