File Corruption
I periodically have an issue with file corruption, I can work on a file for weeks no issue then suddenly “save” button seems to not respond when pressed in CSS3 UI and the file size of the json = 0kb. While annoying and caused some loss, I began a habit of backing up my json, and went along fine enough.
However, now I seem to be in a problematic space where any of my backups, when loaded into CSS3 and then I try to make arbitrary change for a save, results in that same corruption.
Are there known causes of this?
MacOS Sequoia 15.6
CSS 3.0.1
The latest file, restored from a backup: link
After opening the file, disabling a mapping, attempt save causes 0 kb size: link
I think I figured out more.. when I hit save usually it’s nearly instant but sometimes it takes between 8-11 seconds from clicking save to completing.. I think I was thinking it was frozen, file goes to 0kb then I shut down the app.
enhancement request, any visual way to indicate save was pressed, in processing, then completed? I’ve spent past few months thinking I’m nearly escaping corrupted files haha.
One thing which might help if this ever happens to you again >
Each time you generate your script to Ableton, the latest version of the Script json and Controller Template json files are included in the generated script folder (in Ableton Live’s MIDI remote script folder).
So if you find yourself with an empty script, you could grab the last generated version from there 🙂

Saving is always instant for more.
Just to confirm, you’re referring to save (save to file) and not Generate script to Ableton?
