Damaged/Disappearing animations

[algaib]

Several times now after finishing an animation and exporting the sprites, when I return to them a few days later they have been damaged and mixed up. For example I have a character with an attack, run, and a death animation (see attached image). Then when I came back to it today all the keyframes in the run animation had disappeared and blood from the death animation appeared in the run animation even though it wasn't there in the first place. Is this to do with how I organise the folder or something?

Hi algiab,

 

Sorry to hear you're running into an issue, especially such a serious one. Unfortunately, no one else is reporting such problems, so we're going to need your help to get more info so we can reproduce and then fix the cause.

Please zip up and email your entire Spriter project (the folder with the images and scml file) which is corrupted to lucid@brashmonkey.com so he can take a look at the actual data to see if there's a clue there.

Also, please in the email let him know what happened in general and what OS you're on, what version of Spriter you use (free or Pro, Steam version or non-Steam), and what features in general you tend to be using before exporting and then  saving.

Thanks.

Also, since you asked about arrangement of folders, if you moved the images around or renamed them after starting the project, it would cause an issue.

Nope, but I did copy the entire folder, rename the copy, then change the sprites within that folder - and the name of the spriter file (to use with another character). When I opened the copy, the animation was broken, then I opened the original and that was also broken. Is it possible that there is some cache or temporary files on the computer that got messed up buy the duplicate?

I'm using the pro version with Steam on windows 10
