Greetings to All,

I have used PD12-15 for a several years now, but have recently encountered something I've not experienced before.

After having worked on a .pds for many months-- when I was making updates, the application crashed and the .pds would not open again. Fortunately, I was familar with the AUTOSAVE folder and was able to open the most recent file.


I saved the 'autosave' file with a completely filename and continued to work on my project -- saving periodically and seeing new 'autosave' file get added to the folder -- but the 'main' project date-time never seems to update.


The next day, the same thing happened -- the 'new' project file would not open up and neither would the 'autosave' files. (28 of them)


When I click the .pds file -- the PD splash page appears -- then the main PD editor window appears -- and the Project pop-up window with progress bar -- but nothing happens. (( Normally, I see a Reading Project Headers -- then importing media ))
After about 1 min, the Project window disappear and I'm left with just blank PD editor screen.


Has anyone else experienced this issue and/or found a fix/work around?
Is there a PD15 log that might display why the header is not being read?

Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Todd


UPDATE: In the Editor window, if I click the 'Insert Project' and select either the 'main' pds or an Autosave -- I eventually get an error message that says 'File Broken' -- yet this is the file that is saved via Autosave / 'Save' from the program.
