2.0.8 document can't be saved
Hi,
I'm using the 2.1.1 version (german localization) and opened various documents made with the 2.0.8 version. Most documents can be opened without problems, but one document can't neither be converted in the new format (shows an empty page) nor saved as a new document. It accepts a new document name in the file dialogue, but doesn't save anything. Any hints?
Thanks for your help
Holger

If you can send it, it would really help us.Holger wrote:You're right, that's worth a thought, but the file contains very private information; maybe I find a way to handle it.
We will, of-course, keep any information confidential but you can do the following to avoid exposing anything private
1. Open the file using an older version of Mellel
2. Remove all text except the problem paragraph.
or
2. Do a few "replace all" to replace every a with z, b with x e with * (or whatever)
if you don't have access to the older version. Contact me privately and I'll give a link.

Save problem
I am having a similar problem: suddenly I cannot save any changes. Using 2.1.1, when I make changes in a document and try to save it, a copy of the file is created with a tilde (~) appended to the name. I assume that is meant to be a temporary file. However, the tilde file never disappears, and after a while a get a warning saying that the document has been saved under a new name (which does not contain the changes).
The system log shows the following:

I think this happened after the 2.1.1 upgrade, but I am not certain.

Save problem
I manage to reproduce the problem:
1. Start Mellel and create a new document.
2. Type som text on several lines (several paragraphs, to make a list)
3. Save the document.
4. Select some of the lines, and create a list.
5. Choose arabic digits for the list
6. Set the character variation to italic
7. Save the document
This results in a failed save (and a tilde appended file).

Re: Save problem
Do you mean to set this for the text, or the list style?6. Set the character variation to italic

Re: Save problem
I had the same problem with Synk which I use for syncing my two macs. I was not able to save a file with Synk, instead a tilde was appended to the name. the reason was that there was no space left on the volume I wanted to save the document. after deleting some old backups on the volume everything worked again as expected.fitzgunnar wrote:I am having a similar problem: suddenly I cannot save any changes.

Re: Save problem
The problem only appears with italic lists. And I have seven gigabytes of free disk.Reiner wrote:I had the same problem with Synk which I use for syncing my two macs.
