V 9.8.64

[lawry]

Hi,

After installing V9.8.64, I'm facing 2 peculiar problems.

Whenever I try to modify the properties of any HMI image, i get a message Run-time error `9': Subscript out of range. And secondly

If I try to save an existing  project, it doesn't allow to do so. I have to save it as a different file name every time.

V 9.8.64 SUCKS!

Even after saving the file with different names, I lost out almost 16 hours of programs.

Creators, don't be fooled that this is a stable version. Had much better luck with previous versions

I've been using 9.8.64 for a while now, and with several projects, and haven't had any problems. Can you be more specific about what happened and what operating system you're using, etc? I'd like to know what to watch out for.

Flex,

Thank you for your reply. Re installing V9.8.64 on my Win7, 32 bit laptop, got rid of the Run-time error.

Whenever i worked on a project on any prev versions, as a force of habit, I would periodically save my file (overwrite on the same file). Here in V9.8.64, every time that i try to do so, I'm prompted that another program is using the file, and that the file should be renamed. I would then save it as filename_x.vlp. It would then save it. Now i did this and saved my latest file and took a coffee break. On resumption, the latest file opened with the work that was done 2 days back, even though the time stamp of saving was just half hour back. Now i have un installed V9.8.64, installed V9.8.31, but alas i cannot open the file i was working on. Now Ive resigned to rebuilding the project from scratch

If you really have 16 hours invested in this project, then I recommend that you install Version Swapper then open your 9.8.64 project and export subroutines and displays, then swap to 9.8.31 and import them.

I will say though that I don't think it's possible for a file save to only save up to 2 days ago if you're using a new filename. It seems like you have something else going on that you need to address.

I started working again on V9.8.64 on another laptop, and the same behavior was occurring. All my projects are saved to Google Drive. I turned off Google drive and that behavior stopped. This never happened with previous versions

This may be related to the problems I'm having accessing programs on a network drive.  Are you running Win 10?

No Joe, i prefer Win7

I've frequently found that direct saving to virtual drives can be problematic, and not just with VisiLogic. Because of that, I always save locally then copy to the virtual drive later.

Thanks Flex. Will adopt this.
