Opening autosave.kra file

Sun Oct 08, 2017 10:39 am
Hi,
I am trying to recover some autosaved krita files.
They both show up at the program opening, asking me if i want to recover them,but
When i try to do so, i get an "unknown file type". message
Any solution to this ?
The same problem.
I come back , to reopen last nights work , in my folder ,theres a file named : .zd.jpg-autosave
Wich would be fine if only krita would open it. But again i get the message " could not open file REason : unknown file type.
But this is a file created by krita.
Krita autosaves the file with .jpg to the end but file properties says KRA File
Either way krita wont open it and for now my work is lost.

Thanks
Ndahl

That's a bug in 3.3.0. You can use an older version of Krita to open the autosave files for now; I have already fixed the bug and will make a 3.3.1 release this week.

Might be better to go only one version back, to 3.2.1: https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/3.2.1/ :-)

You can also turn off the autosave in the settings, btw, but for now choose the 3.2.1 version with the bit detph of your version of windows.

Well even if a autosave feature is on, I recommend that you save along the way.

just wondering if this is also fixed in the 4.0 versions?
i had a crash yesterday so went to sleep to start afresh today, yet today the same thing happend :( i don't know why it crashed but it just did and lost all my progress again, i do alot in little time so its sad to lose, i already went to %temp% but i cannot find anything that helps and the files in there won't be opened with krita.
i really love krita so its sad to see it crash a few times in not two days time

Hi Stephanie.spellhunter,
Maybe you are affected by this bug in 4.0.1 :
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=393266
Can you try and confirm ?
