the value of saving and save as
Posted: Sun May 12, 2024 5:02 pm
I recently opened a simple project ( all still images) and there were several images offline. I tried to relink and figure out what was wrong for 2 days on and off. Finally I went back from version 6 to version 5 and everything was fine. I tried to save as version 6 but I couldn't ( got mssg it already existed) so I saved as version 7. I kept going back to 6 to try and figure out what happened to make some of the images offline and never figured it out. version 5 and 7 are OK. Today I deleted version 6 so it went to digital heaven.
The way I work: illustrated by this one project but it's how I work on everything.
I do stuff to version 5, I save every time I make a change. When done for the day I save it and also 'save as' version 6. Now I have 2 versions that are exactly the same. Next time I go to work I do it on version 6. Every time I make a change I save it. When done at end of session I save it, and 'save as' version 7.
So, in this case ( it doesn't matter what auto save is set to cause I do this manually no matter what the program is doing) I went back to version 5, which was last saved and duplicated in version 6... opened it and everything was online and saved as version 7.
You cannot imagine how seriously important it is to take the time and save, save as, so you don't lose your entire project. As stated, there was no way to get version 6 relinked, and I am no fool. Tried everything.
