LPUB Just Completely Wiped One of My Models

[Rane]

Yep. All 7500 pieces completely gone.

I do have backups, but I still got -really- lucky. If I had accidentally clicked version 2.4 of my file instead of version 2.3 I would have lost over 5 hours of work that hadn't yet been backed up. As it stands, by what feels like a miraculous act of God, I lost nothing.

Here's what happened. I went to open a recent file and opened the wrong one. Rather than wait for it to fully load the file before I opened the correct one, I just clicked open again and opened the file I wanted. As I began to work in and save the file, I suddenly noticed the name on the top bar was wrong. It said I was working in the file I had accidentally opened previously.

I closed and reopened everything and discovered that LPub had over-written the first file that I had opened when I impatiently opened the next one while the first was still loading.

Anyway, I got off really lucky. Just figured I'd leave a warning for everyone else. Anyone know where I can submit a bug report?

Yikes! Glad it turned out OK!

Well, that's not really useful because LPub4 is not being developed any more.

The successor is called LPub3D and is being actively updated. (https://sourceforge.net/p/lpub3d/)

The author is most active on the LDraw forums though.

@Rane, if you're using LPub3D and if you can reproduce the error (so it's not a weird one time glitch), you can report it here. Note that Trevor (the LPub3D author) is sometimes very inactive (doesn't reply for a week) and sometimes very active (replies almost immeadtly). Not that I mind, just wanted to let you know
