Import Moho Object malfunction

Post by Hoptoad »

Once in a while, when I use "Import Moho Object" to import a character from another Moho file, the character isn't there.

It's like Moho is accessing an old version of the file rather than its current version, even if the only version of the file is the current version (because I had been saving the changes made to the file to the same file, not creating new files).

The workaround is easy. Open the Moho file, go to the character and Copy Layer. Return to the work-in-progress file, Paste Layer.

Still, this behavior is weird so I thought I'd mention it.

Are you trying to import from an open file when this happens?
If so, it might be in the process of auto-saving at the time.

Yes, that's when it happens. Problem solved! Thanks.

I suggest Lost Marble fix this odd behavior, as the circumstance can induce panic. The first couple times I thought my character was gone! :o
