illustrator doesn't save file!
illustrator doesn't save file!
1 - opened the file
2 - made edits
3 - saved
4 - the save indicator showed that the file was saved
5 - closed the file
6 - opened the file - changes were not saved !!!!!!

Hi again, this time I tried to gather a few more details:
a) the .tmp file with cryptic name is somewhat smaller as the AI file
b) file on a network drive, does not save from two different computers
c) other files in the same folder can be edited and saved, also saving the file to a different location and then copying it works
d) Following the events in procmon, I found the place where the cryptic file was created, but I could not see an attempt to rename itFor the moment I have added an aftersave handler to one of my cep panels which pops up an alert if the file was not saved

me again, almost a year later...
Details: windows 10, latest illustrator, file on local drive
Illustrator is creating a .tmp file with a cryptic name but fails to rename that to the original name and does not state an error.Can't this be fixed - I would rather get an alert about save problem, and possibly an OS error code as readable text, than lose my work

just had the same situation....
Details: windows 10, latest illustrator, file is on a NAS box, save format is 'PDF compatible'
Illustrator is creating a .tmp file with a cryptic name but fails to rename that to the original name and does not state an error.I did a few tests on this machine (and restarted Illustrator first, then windows, to be sure) with a few files
Later I tried to edit the original problem file from my laptop - this worked.
Next I got myself a copy of procmon to find out more, but saving did work again.May I assume that the last steps in saving involve a system call to remove the old file and one to rename the temp file to the original name, and the return code of that operation is not checked for errors?
