I am absolutely beside myself. I save my project throughout the fixture, scene, chase and Virtual Console creation and then for no apparent reason the file becomes empty and the design is lost after a restart. I've been on this for 2 days. Does anyone understand why this is happening and is there a fix?

Hank,

I've deleted your other topic, since they are the same.
Can you post some more information:
- QLC+ version (+are you using Massimo's image?)
- do you have any simple steps to reproduce the issue?
- any other possibly relevant details (versions, whatever)

I am using the image that is offered as a download after you give the donation, here is the link, [removed]. I have done this repeatedly. It seams that once I create the Virtual Console it can and eventually does. for example I opened the completed design twice and made some small changes and when I tried to open it on the next reboot the file was empty.

This happens at the very end of the design and after many hours of work. The version I'm running is 4.10.4

I also replaced the SD Card thinking there may b an issue with it.

Are you editing the project on the RPi itself ?

If so, I've repeatedly suggested not to do it, and it's also written in the PDF guide. A RPi cannot replace a PC. Edit your project on a PC and then transfer it to the Pi via web.

I had the problem too and i think its a problem witzh the filesystem-sync. if possible quit qlcplus after editing and saving and in the console type "sync". with this command all changes are writen to the filesystem. also, everytimne you should have a backup (just use "save as...")
