File Save works strange

AndyS

Hi Folks,

 

Today I observed, that at least one point of the main menu works in a strange way.

Working with DAZ 4.8
If you opened an existing scene file, apply little changes to it (i.e. reposition a camera), you normaly could select "File" -> "Save" from the menu and DAZ simply saved your scene with the old name at the old location without furher asking or warning.

Today that behaviour completely changed.
If I select "File" -> "Save" DAZ opens the dialog as if I had selected "File" -> "Save as".  :-?
The dialog to enter the filename opens and after typing the file name there is the question, whether I want to overwrite the existing file.

I don't have any idea why this happens.

It is by design.   If certain conditions aren't met, the Save falls back to the 'safe' Save As.  This is to cut down on accidently overwriting scene files that aren't your own (the authorship line is one of the conditions checked).

so far OK.

 

But why does it happen now (since yesterday) for every scene? All my own.

My guess...it's related to the 'burp' with CMS you had.  Most of the save types need to have a working CMS for all options to be usable. 

If something changed with the CMS, it is possible that the authorship info now differs, so Studio is now seeing the scenes as not the same.

Have you tried a new scene? And then updating it and just hitting Save?

Just for giggles...check the time and date of your computer, in BIOS...

Yes, they were currently created scenes.

And yes, my date is up to date.
