I've seem to recall something along these lines when a scene had been loaded up with and worked on with the wrong workgroup; specifically, one for an older version of Soft. Have you made any changes to the workgroups?
Best of luck with it Neil ________________________________ From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Toonafish Sent: 11 January 2013 17:55 To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: Scene crash on load Thanks, I'll need to give it a shot if I don't want to loose a days work. Seems like all backups are corrupt as well. The weird thing is I was able to load the last backup scene, and saved it under a new name. Then started redoing what was lost. But when reloading the redo scene Softimage crashes again, and now I can also no longer load any of the backuped scenes I could retrieve one of just 20 minutes ago. A scene that was fine and has not been changed is suddenly corrupt...it's voodoo I tell you. Gonna check it tomorrow, I suspect I need some beer as well ;-) Have a nice weekend. - Ronald On 1/11/2013 18:33, Rob Chapman wrote: Ronald think you just give the path for the journal - default is nothing.. yes friday, drinking beer eating crisps time in the office! :D its only emergency like scene crashing if you have a client deadline! hope it works for you but its not a magic solution, eg Fabrice here said 2 out 10 times success rate On 11 January 2013 17:27, Toonafish <ron...@toonafish.nl> wrote: in preferences>data management as far as I remember when I last had this and was helped, it creates a text file that tells you what models are loading and then on the next load it skips the ones that it finds bad? Is that the "Recovery Journal file" ? Do you remember where softimage writes the text file ? its a shot in the dark at least you do realise its friday > 5pm though and this kind of stuff is *meant* to happen. I smell a conspiracy ;-) - Ronald
