Sometimes Hise is not saving properly the project archive or xml

[mehmethand]

This is happening too much. Hise sometimes is not saving archive or .xml properly and I'm losing my work and start coding again.

I'm saving an archive then save an xml. Close hise and reopen it. Check saved files. They are missing latest entries.
I really don't what is causing this. Can you help me please?

@mehmethand Yes this has been happening to me as well recently, very frustrating.

Hmm weird I didn‘t notice anything like this. I even fixed one bug that corrupted the XML when you set an illegal component property.

So what‘s happening exactly? The file isn‘t written at all or its not complete?

@Christoph-Hart HISE says the file was saved but when I reopen the file the changes aren't there - only sometimes they are (yes, it's one of those lovely intermittent problems). I found if I hold the file open separately in a text editor as I'm resaving I just keep checking to make sure the values are written before I close HISE.

I haven't been able to recreate the issue reliably.

@d-healey this happens to me too, seems quite random.

@mehmethand In XmlPresetBackups there will be a UIData folder. Check in there and see if you have two xml files. There should only be one. In my case I think this is the cause of the problem. I changed my project's name at some point which I think caused this.
