Frame 2015: HTML5: error: "screen layouts in this output are missing"

For some reason, my output won't generate now. Get an error for which a Google search yields no result. Any ideas? I didn't change anything in the settings file. I opened it and re-did a save and close. No help.

    This message is due to "Screen layouts used in this output are missing from the Settings file" - It appears because you have skipped one step of selecting the layout before publishing.

    File > Publish

    Responsive Layout > (right click) > Edit Settings > Manage Layout > New > Select either of Azure blue or Charcoal Grey

    OK > Save and Close

    Now publishing should give an output with no errors.

    I suddenly received this warning.

    Any idea why?

    For a time my settings file was getting corrupted...the file size would drop dramatically on those.  Not sure what I did to fix it...I might have started from scratch with a new settings file.

    I looked at the Settings file to edit.

    The actual settings I had made, e.g. colors, fonts were there, but all graphic elements had disappeared.

    It had been corrupted in some way.

    I had just started making more changes to my file, so had saved a good copy to somewhere else on my system. I reloaded this, and the file started working again.

    However, I had to redo all the settings I had made today.

    This good file is now saved in an additional place.

    1. I am in Frame 2017 with all patches, maybe this is a bug

    2. Suggestion, once you get a Settings file that works, save it to somewhere else in case this happens again.

      Why does this error happen?  I was publishing with no problems and suddenly this shows up and I can't publish anymore.

      Thanks,

      Doug

      This happened to me as well.

      To a file that was fine, then suddenly stopped working.

      To fix it, I selected "Edit settings" and saved.

      Then the problem went away.
