When I export a project Photodirector does not save everything. I close the program, double click the the saved phd file & when the program opens the only thing that appears is the background image.
What am I missing? Windows 7, HP Omen Pro 15, Power Director 16, Photo Director 9

Hello,

When you export a project, there are options:

If you have the 3 options checked, your exported project should be complete. With the original source files copied the exported project can be used on a different PC.

Could you please test this again, in case there is some issue?

Yes, I see what you mean.

You were working in the Layers module, but the imported photo layer (hat) wasn't saved as part of the exported project. I'll make enquiries about that.

In your exported project, if you go back to the Library module, are all your photos available? (not counting the missing hat)

Only the background photo appears in library mode.

I have done some further testing:

I open phd file A.phd
make some revisions
close phd & say Yes to save temporary file
when I reopen A.phd (or simply start phd) I see all my previous work saved

I open phd file A.phd
make some revisions
export the project to B.phd
close phd & say No to save temporary file
when I reopen B.phd none of my work has been saved & I am starting from where I first opened A.phd

I open phd file A.phd
make some revisions
export the project to B.phd
close phd & say Yes to save temporary file
when I reopen B.phd none of my work has been saved & I am starting from where I opened A.phd
If I reopen A.phd, my work has been saved there (but the previous state of A.phd has been overwritten & lost)

Do you have any further information on this issue? Windows 7, HP Omen Pro 15, Power Director 16, Photo Director 9
