cannot open my rev file!!

Post by bsouthuk » Wed Jun 02, 2010 5:20 pm

Hello

Wonder if someone can help me.

I was in the middle of saving my project in rev media 4.0 when my laptop decided to cut out.
Now when I look in my folder there are 2 Rev files.

One called 'MasterQG37' REV file which is only 8,195 KB and the other 'MasterQG37' is a REV file but with a squiggly line in between the REV and file (REV~File).

This is the one I urgently need to open as it's 37,795 KB so my full work - otherwise i've lost everything

When I double click it though, nothing happens.

Also to note - in my folder where my rev files are stored, 1 of them has the runrev 4.0 logo as the icon but the other which is the REV~file has the 'R' runerv logo icon.

PLease please help!

Klaus

Well, then do NOT doubleclick the file to open 8) , use the "Open..." dialog in the "File" menu of Rev instead!
(Same for any other applications, if the double clicked file will not open with the exspected app!)

You should however first make a copy of the file with the "~" in the name and rename it to the original filename.


Best

Klaus
