Hi,

I've just met a new problem for me.

 

EOF gave me "Could not save project (error 3)" when i try to save it.

And this happens just at the beginning.

I create a new project, adjust BPM change and Time signature, create the leading silence, try to save and that's it.

 

I use windows 7 on a PC. 

Thanks for your work, i have a lot of fun because of your software.

 

Help, please ?

If you can send me the log file as it exists after opening EOF and reproducing this error, it may help, but to get that error number something strange must have happened. Also, can you confirm which revision of EOF you're using?

I am using the 1341 version of EOF.

Strange thing happened, the problem disappeared and appears again this morning.

I thought it comes from the mp3 i used.

On other topic, your advice was to create the leading silence with audacity. So i open my protools (i don't have audacity), creates the silence and open a new project with the new mp3, and no problem.

I thought the problem came from the name and properties of the mp3, the track is Águas De Março, certain letter like the Á or ç creates the bug.

 

But the problem appears again this morning when i worked on the lyrics chart. 

In the link you will find the EOF and Toolkit file, even a psarc file since it was working yesterday, but now i can't save again.

Thanks.

I downloaded the MP3, but I couldn't see that it had any ID3 tag contents. I created a new folder titled "Águas De Março" (including the accented characters), put the MP3 in it, created a new project with that MP3 (specifying the audio file's parent folder as the project folder), made a few changes to the beat map, added a note and saved. EOF saved the project file, MIDIs, XMLs, etc. in the folder without error. Even when I add leading silence with the stream copy option, it's able to save the files without error, so I don't think it's an issue with the MP3 being incompatible with the third party OGG tools EOF uses. I'll probably need that log file to have a better chance to see what's happening.

You're right. I don't think i comes from the mp3.

The first time i had the problem, i used the original mp3 which had ID3 tag contents, then i modify it with protools, which made it lose his ID3 tag contents (and that's the mp3 you've downloaded) but the problem's still here.

 

So i've done exactly like you. Create a new project with the mp3, import my XML and vocals files, and it saved perfectly. I don't know what to say.

 

I put you a link for a file named eof_log. I found it in the eof1.8RC9 folder, i hope it's what you're asking for. The problem is solved for me so thank you. 

If you find the reason, i'm still interested.

I wanted to add a new guitar chart on this project and it happened again.

Here's the new eof_log file:

If you can get to a point where you can reliably reproduce this with a specific set of steps (ie. open EOF project, perform some specific operations such as adding or removing a note and then saving), let me know. Until then I think the best I can do is add some more debug logging to the program.

I restart the project from the beginning, i wanted to redo some guitar chords and it works perfectly. No problem this time.

So, sadly, i cannot give you more information on how this happened. 

Thanks for your time and efforts. 

I will post the song soon.
