@DareckSlava Sorry to hear you had a problem. Normally when a file is corrupted it happens when the file saving operation is interrupted. We’ve noticed this happens a lot with Windows 10 for some reason, but we’re still looking for clues on how to improve this.
@DareckSlava So you mean you haven’t been able to save at least once, is that right? In that case, please check if you have an antivirus that’s blocking Pencil2d.exe (inside the Pencil2d folder) or if windows UAC is blocking the software when you try to save.
@DareckSlava I’ve already alerted the developers to take a look at this thread to see how they can help as well.
EDIT: Since you want to make a youtube series, you don’t necessarily need Pencil2D. We have a list of other animation software you could use to create your show at least meanwhile the developers find what’s the problem that does not allow you to save.
@DareckSlava Thank you for the fast answer to those questions, when the developers review this thread it will help be narrow down the issue.
For the moment I’ll ask you to try to save to the other pencil2d format to see if it works out, it’s called a legacy format but it’s not really older or worse, the only difference is that it does not ZIP the contents in a single file, but rather it keeps every resource inside a folder and the main pencil2d file is a text file that reads from the folder.
To save with the other format do the following:
Go to File > Save As…
In the file browser select “Type” dropdown below the file name > Select *.PCL
Press [Save]
On the folder you saved you’ll see the *.PCL file and the folder with the [fileName].pcl.data text. Make sure you NEVER change the name of the folder or the files will not work again.
If you are able to save to this file type please let us know.
@DareckSlava I’m glad. Make sure to make backup copies of both the PCL and the .data folder to avoid losing work as well.
We don’t know if this filetype will get corrupted as easily, but it’s better to be safe by making copies before starting to work and after you finish work. Good luck with your show!
