Full Version: Failed to Save.

Show messages: All  1-7  8-13

Never scripted on the form before... but...
Might something like this work?

myActiveXObject = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
try {
file = myActiveXObject.GetFile(doc);
}
catch(err) {
moi.ui.alert(err.message);
}


var before = file.DateLastModified;
moi.geometryDatabase.save();
if (before == file.DateLastModified)
{
var msg = 'Failed to Save:\n\t' + doc
moi.ui.alert(msg);
}


I don't really know how to handle an error and get out cleanly.... just hope maybe this is a worthy attempt.

Hi Mindset - something like that could work but unfortunately there tends to be security problems with using Scripting.FileSystemObject on newer Windows versions, and it's not present at all on the Mac.

I don't think it's easily solved by scripting alone, for v4 I will be adding support for catching writing failures directly into the file writing code.

Thank you Sir.

Hello Michael,

I am wondering if the "pop up an error message" feature for an unsuccessful model-file Save made it into V4?

BTW...
I love your software.

Hi Mindset,

try to open an instance of Moi and copy the file to the instance and save the scene.
Hope it works!

Not quite yet but it shouldn't be much longer before I'll be able to get to it.
