I've been trying for a few weeks to get my preset memory set up just
right. I got it right just tonight, and then it disappeared.
It happened before, several days ago: I did a bunch of work, saved it,
saved it, saved it, then tried it out, and it didn't work; but when I
reopened it all of the synth module objects were missing along with
half of the other pd-objects. "JInoprst.pd" is the main
program. It should have 8 copies of "JIvoicenoprst.pd" right at
the top in the middle. The presets canvas should have a lot more
than just those 3 templates.
This time, tonight, I made separate copies as I was going, "Copy of
JInoprst.pd", "Copy of JInoprst(2).pd" etc. When I was finished,
it finally worked correctly (it loads the actual wave after loading all
of the parameters, so that it saves any changes you make drawing the
wave). Then, suddenly, next time I opened it, all of the
connections and half of the pd-objects were gone from the main
screen. Looking at the file in a text editor, it appears to still
have it all there, but it doesn't show up. It happened originally
on Mac OSX, the version that wasn't working, and tonight it was on
WinXP, the version that was working.
I opened the backup copies I had made in case of this happening again, and it did the same thing to them.
On PC, I'm using 0.38.3, on Mac I don't recall which version I was using at the time.
Anyone know what's causing my work to be erased?
(apologies for several existing bugs- it routinely gives me the error
message about float not being valid for value, I haven't bothered
tracking it down yet)
