File updates not saved?

I have used Lightburn for years and up until an hour ago am using version 1.7.02. A couple of days ago I modified a small project - and saved it. Yesterday I couldn’t find the updated version at all, and from the recent files dropdown all I could find was the earlier unedited version. So I had to do the changes again. I then saved it. I know for certain I did. Today, all I can open once again is the previous unedited version!

I can recreate the changes easily enough, although it is time consuming given it will be for the third time. This has never happened before.

Is it just me? I think I had more than one Lightburn open at the time so does that effect the recently used list? Even so, it shouldn’t lose my changes so I am confused.

You could check the folder were you saved the file, almost sure it is there.

The file there is the unedited version. I don’t understand though. It’s as if the saving of changes never happened. But I know for fact I saved it, more than once even.

When you click Save as:


Lightburn points to a place on your PC

Check there or else do a search for the name of the file.
Are you saving to an external drive?

It’s a network drive. I’ve checked everywhere including backups but all the same version. But here’s a thing - I just opened the file and deliberately changed it. I saved it by clicking the save icon but after that when I went to close lightburn it told me it had been changed and would I like to save it? It’s as if it had ignored the save icon input.

If you click Save as, you´ll know the path.

I’m going to assume this is a thing related to the network drive and routing. I don’t think it’s a Lightburn thing. Which is good lol.
