Hello friends, my Gig Performer 4 crashed while making some settings. After restarting GP the Rackspace-List is empty. Have I lost every thing or can I restore it somehow?
Greetings
Johannes Arnstadt
Did you load your gig file after starting gig performer?
Yes, I did. GP is also configured to load last used Rackspace.
And the gig file does not Conan any rackspaces?
Thats right.
Ok, how big is the size on disk?
only 3 KB
And before the crash, you are sure it was OK?
Yes, everything was ok. I had 3 rackspaces opened and working in the list.
Please upload the gig?
You are sure you did not save as an empty gig with this name, accidentally?
in this gig there is nothing - except standard xml-tags.
If it would be corrupt you would not able to load that at all
It’s not possible to have zero rackspaces, so it must be a corrupt file (that ended up empty).
For me that does not look like corrup, but maybe it is not complete.

knowingly I did not save to this file after the crash. until the crash it wasn’t empty. Maybe it saved itself after the crash. When the crash happend, a popup said that something unaspected happened an after confirming that by mouseclick, the App closed itself.
Save after crash?
How did you do that?
And do you know what crashed, a plugin?
I definitely can’t achieve this in the GUI, as it always keeps a single rackspace. Something obviously went wrong.
I did not save after Restarting the App after the Crash. I have no idea what caused the crash.
Did you get a crash report notification after you started Gig Performer.
Normally you should get a window and you are asked to upload that report.
Do you think you were saving when it crashed? GP doesn’t automatically save, and normally a crash will retain whatever the last saved version of your gig file was. But maybe if something went wrong DURING the save?
