MediaFour MacDrive and Ch - Broken Projects

Hi - I have encountered a deadline-shattering bug... I am working on a Mac formatted hard drive on my Windows system. I built 6 puppets that I saved onto this drive - every now and again I would get an error saying "bad rope operation", however, a notification would let me know that I have saved a new version. I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.

 

Fast forward to today - I am unable to open any of my puppets - getting the same error "bad rope operation" whenever I try to open them. Opening and saving puppets to windows formatted drives works fine.

 

Hope this bug report is helpful. I'm off to re-rig all my puppets now.

If this happens, zip up your project and send it to @DanTull. IIRC the rope stuff means we can cut off the bad parts like a frayed end of a rope to salvage the project.

I have someone who has been having this issue as well.  Were you ever able to figure out the problem? Or are my best chances to contact someone directly for help?

I'm currently saving my projects onto my internal hard drive. I have not
found another solution.
