jollyred Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 I feel your pain. I do not store my patterns on my computer, I use a dedicated flash drive and work on them directly from the flash drive. That way, if anything happens to the hard drive (such as an update), I will not lose my patterns. I have hardly anything I want to keep stored on the computer. I don't use the "cloud", but that would be another way to keep them stored. Tom don watson and jerry1939 2 Quote
Phantom Scroller Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Jerry things don't just disappear it's usually down to operator error haa haa my wife says to me it's all gone wrong.

I tried your 1st suggestion & got nowhere. Downloaded the 2nd one & couldn't find my pattern, so I uninstalled it. By dumb luck, I had printed what I had completed to show to the Sweet Wife. We found that. Something I never had to try was when you import into inkscape, will an imported picture print. IT DOES. Now I can import what I had completed & continue from where I left off. Thanks again Friend. jerry RabidAlien 1 Quote

teachnlearn Posted February 21, 2019 Report Posted February 21, 2019 Possible that you had the save file on a different folder. If you remember the file name you can search to see if its somewhere else. If you don't have a search there is free search software called "Search Everything" Helps to locate any file. https://www.voidtools.com/ Quote
