large tvpaint file not recognized? any help?

[name0014]

Hello everyone!

I have a problem with one file, tvpaint is not even ecognizing it as a project.

I am guessing it must be because is really heavy compared to the previous versions of it and also it kinda crashed when I was saving it.

I wouldn't mind losing some referenced layers I had inside it.. but I hope there is a solution for this (maybe through code?). I have a lot of work in this file that I really don't want to lose (I was saving all the time but I didn't version it out), has anyone had this kind of problem and know any solutions or know a fix for this?

Any help would be tremendously appreciated!

Hello there again, thanks for replying so quickly!

I am very sorry I missed reading the protocol concerning how to ask questions regarding tech support.

I have a problem with one file, tvpaint is not even recognizing it as a project.
I am guessing it must be because is really heavy compared to the previous versions of it and also it kinda crashed when I was saving it.
I wouldn't mind losing some referenced layers I had inside it.. but I hope there is a solution for this (maybe through code?). I have a lot of work in this file that I really don't want to lose (I was saving all the time but I didn't version it out), has anyone had this kind of problem and know any solutions or know a fix for this?


OS version : Windows 7
OS architecture 64 bit
TVPaint 9.5 Professional

damn !!!
why to work with a soooo old (and so buggy) version when the update (9.5.21) is free ...???
as a matter of priority, you should update, ... unless you're not registered (?)

I am sorry but I double checked and indeed the file was created in a nonregistered version! =( I know it was my responsibility to ask if it was a registered version of the software I was using, and I am deeply embarassed. Nevertheless I just bought it for myself and will get the standard version of tvpaint 11 within 4 days. I already dowloaded the trial and it looks awesome.

I am glad that I will feel confident to ask for tech support knowing I'm a registered user now. I already took this as a learning experience, nevertheless I do have to ask if there is no possibility that once I get my registration code from my tvpaint 11.0 will it possible to try to save that file? I already gave upon it as I said before, but I thought I would at least ask with a big amount of embarassment.

Thank you very much again!
