The current file is not saved and the file is not loaded. This occurred after the update. I am a little affected by my work. Thank you for your quick fix. Thank you.

There is another problem here. The file is fine and has been created since the update.

Thanks for letting us know and including some screenshots of the issue. Was the .form file created with the newest PreForm update (2.12.0) or with a previous version?

We are having the same issues with 2.12.0. Old files are corrupting, new files are failing to save.

Thanks for letting us know and including images of the error. We’re actively working to get this corrected and it appears that a bug in 2.12.0 causes some files to become corrupted upon saving. A fix for this will be released shortly but in the mean time, downgrading to 2.11.3 is the best option.

@poping2 @reapermini We have a new PreForm release that will correct the error with saving. [You can grab it here](https://formlabs.com/tools/preform/) and thanks for reporting this - it’s always a big help in identifying bugs and getting them corrected quickly.

The problem disappears after updating the latest version of the program. Thanks for the quick fix.
