bwcc Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I have a project I have been working on and I opened the file today in EIAS 9.1 and EI continues to crash while opening - I believe the problem is a Blobmaker object that has become corrupted (maybe not really sure) - In the past I have been able to remove the plug-in file from the sockets folder, open the file and choose to remove or skip the socket object. Then I could delete the object, save, quit, reinstall the plug-in and it all worked. to get the file open. I have tried all that, and no matter what I do it continues to crash without opening. I have also tried to merge the prj into another prj. - crashed. is there anything I can do? thanks brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwcc Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I can't collect because I can't get it to open all - can I just send the .prj? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Egger Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Ola Brian! Please, rename EIAS 8 folder and open the proj again, my guess, your Proj is trying to use old EIAS 8 tools on using EIAS 9. Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Egger Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Ola Brian! Since you have a EIAS 8 project and you are working in EIAS 9 or 9.1 doesnt mean EIAS is using the latest plug-ins and shaders from 9.1. If you have a doubt, for example, click in the plug-in or Shader and use the contextual menu “Mouse + Control key†to use the “Reveal in finder†new feature, it will show you if the Project is still using a EIAS 8 tool or the correct 64 bits EIAS 9.1 version.

bwcc Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 very good to know - thanks for the quick response! brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwcc Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I guess I could try this, but I'll ask anyway - This was a .prj started in version 8 opened and saved in 9.1, but I could still go back and open the project in version 8. Are all projects, even ones created in 9.1, able to open in 8 or only ones started in 8? If so how how far back does it go? thanks brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Egger Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Ola Brian, This is a complex question, because, the features were updated and plug-ins too, so, you can even open and save in EIAS 9, but maybe you are using a old EIAS 8 tool, if you have everything running in EIAS 9, maybe its possible to to open in EIAS 8 or older, but the tools will not work.

Thomo Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi Brian, I am finding this out as well. Best practice I find is to collect and save for each version of EIAS. And have separate folders. Sometimes EIAS uses a plugin from V8 even if it is saved and / or open in V9 or V9.1. The reveal in finder (which is a great tool!) lets you right away which plugin (sockets) folder you are using. As usual Tomas is correct and right on time! :-) Why is it that "plugins", always referred to as "plugins", are called "plugins", yet they are stored in a "sockets" folder? I'm sure I'm missing something and there is a reason. Curious though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwcc Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 would be nice if EIAS would ask if you want to use the older plugin or let you select a newer one when opening a project into a newer version. bw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
