Save with a new name is supposed to be independent.
Hello,
I'm not sure if it is a bug or a feature but if it is a feature it is a pretty bothering one : if I save as a new file with a new name I expect the new file to behave as a totally independant one, not with dependancies with the other version.
I'm using a picture A as base in the file 1.
If I create a file 2, it is in order to be able to use a picture B independantly in the new file. If B change A it's... useless. It's a huge loss of time if I have to redo everything. At the minimum, we need to have the possibility to choose.
UPDATE : Ok, now to make things worse, the duplicate file leads sampler to crash at launch.
If I can understand Painter, Sampler and Designer to be, somehow, synchronized, a new file shouldn't be synchronized in anyway. From what I can see, the bugs and crashes comes both from the material and from the reference picture. The two files share some kind of references somewhere instead to have their own references.
In other words :
- The origin file is called whatever.jpg
- The "internal" reference becomes 213zerfef6q5z74fqs4fq5s4...blabla_name and this is the one that cause the bug because it's taken as reference instead to keep whatever.jpg.
The synchronization of the two files create conflicts (I've tested creating several copies and using different names each time, the bug always happens).
So, if we create a new file based on an existing one : it NEVER should be synchronized in anyway.
