I created components named DataTab. These are blue tiles of button which contains labels. After exporting the component is missing from the design, but the elements could be returned back when the DataTabs are detached. Why it is happening?
This is how it should look.
Hi, the question marks (???) you see instead of the component’s name indicate that SquareLine Studio cannot load the component’s definition file.
Please check if the DataTab component file is present in your project’s components folder. It seems like the file might be missing or corrupted.
Hi, yes at the beginning the file is available. I created now some basic component.
What seems that helps for is backing up the component file immediatelly after saving the project and then pasting it back to the components folder.
Hi, a possible cause for this issue could be the export destination folder. SquareLine Studio cleans the target folder before exporting to ensure that files from deleted elements are removed.
It is possible that you are exporting the UI files into the project folder itself. If this is the case, the cleanup process might be unintentionally deleting the .ecomp file along with the old UI files.
Could you please try the following as a troubleshooting step?
Please let us know if exporting to a separate folder solves the problem. This will help us confirm if this theory is correct.
