How do I save my work?

[NancyG358]

Nothing I write is being saved. It immediately disappears. How do I save my work.? I wrote the title page yesterday and the log line yesterday'. It's all gone. I wirote the titile page again today and the synopsis. Now it is all gone. I'm totally confused. And there doesn't seem to be any way to go forward. HELP! (I just downloaded this yesterday, but it's nothing like the KIT Scenarist I used to have.

Hello Nancy,

I'm sorry this happened to you.

Basically everything should be saved automatically, but you can use Ctrl+S (Command+S for macOS) shortcut to save content forcefully. What operating system do you use? Did you try to create another one project and change something inside it?

Hello @NancyG358, any updates on this issue?

Bummer that folks that don't regularly use Github still use it to submit issues, lol.

I will take over for Nancy from here.

I am experiencing the same issue.

The application can get into a state where it no longer registers changes to the document and you will lose work if you don't stop immediately. When the application enters this state, "ctrl+s" will no longer work because no changes are being registered. I have tinkered with this a bit and my only guess is that it is related to the lock file getting into a funky state, but I have no clue what causes this. Most importantly for debugging, this only happens on a per-story basis, not an application-wide basis. For example, if I have 15 stories, one of them gets into this state while the other 14 still behave normally.

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04.

Additional note: In my case, it appears to be related to "Act" headers. I found I can save everything in "Act 2" but nothing in "Act 3" is getting saved.

I was able to fix it by removing the "Act" headers.
