WHAT .... FlowCode is changing my files !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ksor]

For a start I should tell that I HAVE ordered FlowCode V4, but right now I use the DEMO-version 4.2.3.58 and it has some restrictions because it's a demo-version !

BUT ... is one of the restrictions that it ALTERS the files after some minutes ?

I have observed this for some days but thought that I maybe forgot to save the project I was working on.

I saw it again this morning - the project I was working on yesterday - and made some changes on - this morning these changes weren't there !!!!!! ???? !!!!!! ?????

I then tried it ONES MORE - made the changes, saves (I even tried to save into a new file name), exits FlowCode, start some other program - my mail or something like that - and startup FlowCode again and loads my project - the changes are there and it works fine !!!!!

Then I shot down again and starts doing something else for some minutes - 4-5 or maybe 10 minutes - when I now loads my project into FlowCode - even the new file name - the changes are gone and it has returned to an earlier version !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have verified it the problem 3 times now !

WHAT THE ...beeb... IS GOING ON HERE ??????????????????????????????????????

Hello Ksor

Thats very strange I cant think of a reason that Flowcode would be causing that problem. If you are simply opening the file then Flowcode does not actually make any actual changes to the file itself.

Are you sure you are opening the updated file when you reopen? Also have you experienced anything else strange with the drives on your computer? Maybe check the edit time and date on the file to make sure it is still the up to date version.

I don't think there is anything wrong with my computer !

I get more and more convinced that this DEMO-version is making some spooky things when you get near the restrictions in the DEMO-version !

I have 4-5-6 times made some changes to a project where the restrictions is "in action", saved it, closed FlowCode and opened the project again - AND THE PROJECT WORKS WELL and ALL my changes are present !

BUT ...

When I opens the project after 5 maybe 10 minutes - I have not found out the excact periode - the changes I made beyond the restrictions is gone ! (and I can re-produce this behavier !)

If I ASAP after the saving deletes ALL files except the project file itself - NO CHANGING takes place !!!!!! - so I'm pretty sure the demo-version DOES change the files !!!!!!!!!!
