HS2 Experte 2.2RC. "Kein gültiges projekt"

[Warichet]

Hi,

By starting Experte 2.2RC today, I get an error message
"Kein gültiges projekt"

It was working yesterday, and I haven't modified anything special.

Help please

Please give us some more information.
When does the message occur? Just before uploading to the HS?

Check if the Experte is correctly configured to Homeserver or Facilityserver! See "Stammdaten","Projekt","Projekteinstellungen".

hallo raymond,

geh in den folder proj. öffne die hs3 datei mit einem editor.
schau dir dort die letzte zeile an. es müsste dort <@end>
stehen. steht das nicht dort, ist die datei defekt.

das heisst, du musst auf die letzte sicherung zurück greifen.

das ist aber kein problem des neuen updates!

When does the message occur?".

When I double click on the Experte icon, I see the progress bar. The message pops-up at +/- 70% of the progress bar. Then it comes with another display of available projects "Projekte verwalten"

Check if the Experte is correctly configured to Homeserver or Facilityserver! See "Stammdaten","Projekt","Projekteinstellungen".

I think I cannot do that, as the Experte doesn't load fully. Anyway, I din't bring any change to the config itself. But I rember to have had a power failure, very common here. Which should do any harm, if I'm not writing to disk at that moment.
It gives a warm feeling to see that people take care of my misery.

Thank you
Raymond

With Notepad, I don't see anything (although I can look at other projects). With Notepad++, I see NULs, 256K of NULs !

steht das nicht dort, ist die datei defekt.

das heisst, du musst auf die letzte sicherung zurück greifen.

There is no "repair" function, like in Word ?

das ist aber kein problem des neuen updates!

Ah , how do you know ? It's a bizarre coïncidence as I'm using the Experte since a year, without any glitch (except my own mistakes). I'd love such a coïncidence next time I play a Lotto
But there is hope, I see 2 .bak files in the folder, maybe I should rename the most recent an try it ?

Thank you
Raymond

yes, please try the file with extension .bak1. It is the newest backup file of your project. You must rename the file extension to .hs3

You already won the jackpot! The new Experte now has the .bak-auto-save-feature and you should be able to restore your project. With the old experte you were lost.

But I am sure, you make backup of this extremly important file every day, isn't it?

[blue04]

hallo raymond,

falls die bak auch defekt sind, hätte ich dir noch eine datei vom 23.06.07

@JensD
>yes, please try the file with extension .bak1.
No luck, full of NUL
Same test with .bak2
No luck, full of NUL
I'm dead

@Matthias
>You already won the jackpot!
I prefer the Lotto

>But I am sure, you make backup of this extremly important file every day, isn't it?
You have a strong sense of humour, but no, not everyday. I guess I must be punished for my excess of confidence.

Thank you

[Michel]

Please send me the original .hs3 and the latest .bak, just for testing it with my Experte installation.

You noticed that blue still has a copy of your project? So you are still alive .

[Warichet]

yes, please try the file with extension .bak1

Maybe a very dumb question, but...
The normal way is to create a project and upload it to the HS2.
And the reverse is not possible ? In my case, the HS is working perfectly well, I just lost the source of the project.

Yet another question, even more dumb.
There is no "repair or rebuild "function available ?
Sometimes an application can recover from a crash based on temporary work files, registry entries, user settings etc

Thank you Raymond

First question:
No, impossible


Second question:
No, impossible

I am sorry!

[Warichet]

Second question:
No, impossible

You mean it is not possible in the current version of the product. OK.
I understand it will not be possible in the future due to your decision of not implementing this feature. This decision might eventually impact the future usefullness of the product.
I persist to think that it IS technically possible, as other products DO offer this feature.

Best regards
Raymond

Your wrong, it is not MY product. Not at all. I am just a simple beta-tester.

I made some times ago a proposal to DACOM in order to have a solution for this problem. I agree with your opinion about that.

Until now I was not able to convince the developers.
