Preset (.hip) opens empty
-
I had for a couple of times same issue, luckily I use make a cloned copy inside two other hard disks... it could be quite annoying (without speaking of the moment of panic for having lost the job done).

I think i need to make a Hip2XML tool so you can see whats wrong.
I hit this problem again with another project. Can't we just get rid of the .hip format altogether?
I made a recovery XML but when I tried to load it I got a message about invalid xml. I fixed the invalid tag and tried to load the file into HISE again but it just opens up an empty project as does the .hip.

@d-healey I'm facing rhe opposite. Saved a huge xml (3.5mb) and it does not open. .hip does.

Did you try validating the xml? - https://xmlvalidation.com/

@d-healey nope! Nice one. Will try it tomorrow
-
@d-healey to be honest this is the only thing I don't feel comfortable with Hise. Never figured out what's the best format to properly save my work.

Yes I'm a bit lost too with the formats, and the menu is not clear to me neither

I've seen somewhere in the forum the xml is safer to use compared to the hip
In fact I don't know why the hip is made for. I use it in my sand box project so it's easy to test some code whitout loading a new project or xml every time, then when I am ready, I import the code in my main project...I had too many issues with both xml and hip not loading, so I think this way is the safest I found for me at least... but maybe some of you have a safer way to work?
Also, everyday or after a big change in the code, I duplicate the entire project and keep 10 days of backups... paranoia…
-
Or just use Git.
It‘s weird with all projects I did I never had any issues with loading the files so if you find something reproducible let me know.

The XML recovery isn't working.
Here is the
.hipfile. I had to change the extension to mp3 so it would upload (maybe .hip should be an allowed upload format).irishWhistles.mp3
irishwhistles.hip (done ;) )Here is the recovered (invalid) XML. This is missing lots of things.
