You can’t Reload not saved projects.
New project : only work files.
Save project : a copy of current work state become saved files
Reload project : work files are replaced by saved files.
Save As New : a copy of current project work files is done in another folder (project), without saved files.

I mentioned here several times, a SAVE AS NEW project isn’t saved. It is a copy of current project work state. Should be called Copy As New. I save them just after in order to go back to that state.

Do you still have original project ? You can re-start from that if you didn’t modify it…

How can you expect to reload a project that has never been saved?

There is no saved data. There for there is no data to be reloaded.

Makes total sense. 100% logic.

Your opinions and insults are not helping you understand the facts given several times in this thread.
By definition, according to octatrack operation manual, and as quoted by @sezare56, save as new is not the same thing as save project.

saving means saving, or in another side of europe saving means throwing away? good night dude…

#14

and waiting the double progress bar… :smiley:

Should be called COPY TO NEW as I said. Once you know the actual behavior, not a big deal : just save after.

Funnily, after validating SAVE TO NEW function, the prompts are :
Syncing Project (to card)
Save Project As
Saving As New
Save As New

But it isn’t saved…:rofl:
(No save files, hence no Reload possible)

Has someone reported this to Elektron support?
Seems like a good idea.

And @Allibrante:

  • consider getting a new 64 GB CF card
  • stop offloading your frustration this way in this place. It’s really not welcome. And perceived as a bit childish.
  • Criticism is ok, as long as it’s constructive. Not to be confused with ranting.

I’m a developer as well and intuitively understood “Save to New” from the 1st time I used my Octatrack, using it to save copies of my projects that I wanted to mess around but have a backup. So I don’t really understand throwing the credentials in that since it can be interpreted both ways, you are saving whatever is currently in memory to a NEW project file.
