It doesn’t save subsequent changes, autosave doesn’t open. And exporting a template project doesn’t save changes. So you always have to start the project from scratch.
Hi, Based on your description, it sounds like you’re having trouble with saving changes in SquareLine Studio. Your changes aren’t being saved, autosave isn’t working, and even exporting a template project doesn’t preserve your changes.
This could be related to file permissions on your system. It’s possible you’re trying to save the project to a location where you don’t have write permissions.
Try saving your project to a different folder where you’re sure you have full write access. This might solve the issue.
If that doesn’t help, please send us the log file which can be found here: Troubleshooting | SquareLine Studio
This will help us diagnose what’s happening with your specific setup.
Hey @gogs don’t know if this is exactly related to your problem but I recently had an issue where all of a sudden I came back to open my project just to realize it was completely gone. I built an empty one with the same name project settings so it would build me a new set of SPJ and SLL files, the first one I replaced with the last backup inside project folder/backups and second one is basically the last section in SPJ file, just double check and that should rebuild your lost project and not start from scratch.
What is the problem or why it happens (at least to me) is that when you export your UI for some strange reason Squareline Studio deletes the project files. We then quit confident that we previously saved but no, project is gone. You must always manually save after any UI export or just before quitting the studio.
Hope it helps.
Hi, yes, this could be the issue! When exporting to the same directory as your project files, the export process first deletes previous files, which can wipe out your project. The solution is simple - don’t export to your project folder. Instead, create a separate folder outside your project directory and export there. This way, the export process won’t touch your important project files.
