Hi guys,

Having a BIG problem here. Krita won't save a file at all, so all of the work I work on cannot be saved and must be discarded.
This is when I try to save it as the .Krita file, I haven't tried saving it any other way.

Again, I'll work on a scanned image and then have to discard it because it won't save.

Do you guys have any idea how I could solve this?

I've uninstalled and installed the program again and it's solved nothing.

Thanks for the help.

Rhys

What error message does it give?

Also, the filetype for Krita is *kra

That's the thing, it doesn't actually give me a message. I just get the small 'save' cursor and it stays as that. Doesn't change, and the file certainly doesn't save.

Also, when I have the 'save cursor', I can still actually paint and manipulate the program.

Hi,
a few commits ago the same happened to me once but in my case the issue has not presented itself again. I was updating frequently then and I thought of a temporary issue.

Krita created several new numerically named files within the folder where I was trying to save the document, presumably as many as the times I've tried to save it. They were quite large, seemingly of the size of the document I was working on.

Krita stayed responsive but eventually I had to kill the program in order to exit, since I couldn't save as usual. It could not open those generated files.

The watch cursor remained unchanged til the end of the session also in my case. Not sure, but I don't remember of errors when saving.

If the numbers were increasing like 1,2,3,4, that was the save incremental feature, most likely.

Mvowada, that's exactly the problem I have. I have no file in my folder (I created the folder especially for this art work, so it started empty and unfortunately, still is) but then when I try to save the piece again it comes up with the file names at least. It's so strange.

How long did it take for yours to almost fix itself? Because I'm still having it, so of course I cannot get any work done with Krita at all!

Is this constant? Have you tried saving with a different fileformat?

Have you tried renaming the krita folder in %appdata% ?(this'll reset config, maybe it'll help...)

I can't say for sure however on second thought, the numbers seemed padded with leading zeroes and the file names prefixed with a word (maybe "krita"). They were like: krita0001.part or something like that, and so on...
Unfortunately, I can't recall if they had the regular "kra" extension.

I guess that in my case updating the program solved the issue. But if you are still able to reproduce the problem, I'd try what Wolthera suggested before updating.

Hello. Today I've encountered this problem again while using Krita: 2.9.5 (git a9c99c9).
Krita didn't save the document but generated these files every time I've tried to save it:

Code: Select all

[my_title].kraaj9264.new
[my_title].kraBO9264.new
[my_title].krahU9264.new
[my_title].kraIf9264.new

I couldn't open those files in Krita because an alert was informing they were not valid.

Hi,

Did those files start as jpeg files as well?

Hello there and thank you.
No, it was not a jpeg file at start, I'm sorry.
However I've just opened a bug report on this issue https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349603.
Maybe the problem has to do with the "Pattern Overlay" layer style.
Thanks
