Mr. R Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Back in 2020 I made some NPCs and labelled them 2020 name. New Year I label them 2021 name. BUT... when I go to open file, I can't find them. Open recent will open them just fine, but any new flies tagged 2021 are NOT in the HD file. Eight characters that are somehow in the system, but hidden. Note computer is OLD and I only use it for HD and photo editing (Note: the photo editing works fine and I can save and move photos no problem). But is is disconserting that A program was working fine last year now ups suddenly refuses to work properly! So what gives? and how do I fix it?

Simon Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Main thing I'd look at is what directory you're looking in when going to File -> Open Character... HD does not perform ANY inspection of the files to display beyond the file extension, so if you're not showing any characters in the directory that you're looking in, then there are no files of the proper extension in that directory.

Mr. R Posted February 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Its the same file that All the Other toons were placed in. I'm going to delete a few old characters. Maybe I filled up the directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 No. See my reply above - you’re not looking in the directory that the files are being saved to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. R Posted February 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 So as a test I made a new Character but with a very siplified name, so" 2021 Alphabet Squad CN: Angel became 2021 Angel ANd it seemed to work. So I am back in buisness. Now I just have to redo all the work from the last week because those old files still do not exist, as I looked on my har drive!

Simon Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 If (as you said) the files opened from the recent files menu, then they ABSOLUTELY EXIST. You're not looking in the right directory. Period. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
