Error 17431.k.fi.tr

[Big Frank]

Was working on a website and I got these errors on closing the program (to do a program update). The last thing I worked on was a pasteboard background image.

Was the file OK when you reopened it?

I get various similar errors. If I can I close down voluntarily and then the file is usually OK when I reopen it. If not, open the last backup and you should not have lost too much.

No, the file was dead when I tried to re-open it. So was the last backup. The second-to-last backup was fine so I lost about 10 minutes' work. Fortunately those 10 minutes was time spent cogitating, so nothing much lost

But it'd be nice to know what those cryptic error messages mean, if they mean anything at all.

[handrawn]

they probably mean about as much as a message that says there has been a crash on a specific junction of a specific motoway [or maybe not even that specific, maybe just in a given region]

so you know there's a problem, but you don't know what it is until you [the programmer] gets there [analyses everything]

the program/OS does not know what the problem is because it is not 'aware', but it can, for example, tell you that the last intruction failed and where it was in the code execution when it happened.....

[PeteS]

which version of Designer Pro are you using? What does the first line say in Help -> About?
