I did a test where I changed some props without fixing Verse after the update today, then I saved those props only, my SVN list showed no Verse devices were changed, and now those verse devices give the following message.
Feels there needs to be a system to prevent this from happening and breaking the connections. Ik this might be an Alpha thing, but what if something breaks or something needs to be added in the future?
This needs a failsafe because its very destructive.
Yeah indeed. There’s supposed to be a big popup dialog if you open a project in this state stating you could lose data if you carry on working without fixing them. Did this show up for you? (If not we’ve got an even bigger problem). This is in fact… quite bad of course and not a good user experience.
In the next update we’ll get 2 improvements.
Better more informative dialogs for a few different situations where this could happen.
Some extra serialization code that can recover the data in ‘some’ of the situations where you might carry on without fixing things and save anyway.
As you say, a failsafe is required and we’ve got a partial one coming in the next release. A full failsafe is one of our top 3 prios to get out the door.
