...The autosave will write to that project...
That's where things are going bad sometimes, remember that old directory issue not updating when switching the project. So the autosave writes to the previous directory unless you specifically close and restart Hise. There's been an attempt to fix that issue I am raising for so long (by someone who I don't know the name on the forum...) https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/issues/795
The same goes when using the preset browser. About two weeks ago again, got a crash, restarted Hise, reopened the last autosave, and baaamm it was one of a previous project. So now I know this well, I just go to the previously opened project and bring back the good autosaved file to the current project 😉
There's a thing I systematically (well apparently it's not that systematic) do when switching between projects, it's close and restart!
Anyway that's preset overwriting, not project XML.
