Scene opens, nothing in it....text file has info..

PostFri Apr 20, 2018 11:12 am

Latest scene opens, but there is nothing in it. Checking the actual textfile, info seems to be there. There is no auto backup file because I didn’t crash. SURE wished Fusion made normal backup files as other programs do.
Any ideas? Thankfully this is not a complex final scene. I was just taking a previous 3d setup and eliminating some planes and nodes and was playing with some replacement images for a first test. Nothing I can’t quickly recreate. But what if I couldn’t? Does this happen often? I normally save new versions every half hour or so to protect against a hosed scene.

Thanks,
Rick

Doesn't the Auto save option in the General tab of the preferences work for you?
That should create 'normal' backup files, like you say.

As for the 'textfile' can you post it?
Maybe something went wrong there, but with some selective copy/pasting maybe your scene could be saved.

well, from the posts I looked up, I got the impression that Fusion only saves a backup if it crashes...
I checked in Documents and the Fusion folder marked Default Auto Saves, but nothing there.

Here's the textfile:

You're right. There isn't much in there. At least no tools that I can see. Strange.
You should contact support directly instead of going through the forum, this is definitely something for the developers to be aware of.
