Xojo just lost all my classes

Are your classes in a module? I found a bug last night where an exported module loses any contained classes when imported into a project… feedback 37497. Don’t know if it could be related somehow…

They were first not in any kind of container but then I created a folder and moved them there.

try opening the project with 2014r2.1 (Maybe a shot in the dark, but it doesn’t have the bug)

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve tried it but it didn’t solve the problem.

OneDrive gives me all kinds of headaches. Use another folder for your projects. Then have a batch file run an XCopy to update your OneDrive folders. The problems with OneDrive are not limited to Xojo. It was crashing Visual Studio for me until I changed my workflow.

I’m going to take your advice and steer clear of OneDrive for programming related tasks.

My advice applies also to Dropbox or any other managed directory solution. They are great tools when used properly but should never be your working directory.

I had tons of trouble when I tried to use a particular backup service, sometimes it would hang after doing an incremental backup and Xojo (actually Real Studio at the time) would try to save my latest work and couldn’t save all of it because of the Windows FileLock on some of the files. Never could get it to work correctly, but haven’t had any problems with CrashPlan which I move d to after the problems with the other backup service.
