Code deleted: your sketch has been modified externally
Hello all,
just I loosed my work of the day by the following mistake: suddenly a message appears: "your sketch has been modified externally" with Yes/No buttons, but the No button returns the same message and if I push the yes button Code of the last session is deleted e.g. in my case a whole class. Is there a solution of this problem?
Win7 64bit
Help is appreciated. Thanks.

What I tried so far is: by renaming the temp file which is saved instead of the original file it is possible to loose only what was done after last save. renaming: name (of original file) + .pde restores the unsaved version of the orignal. see also: https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2852
But this seems still a heavy bug
the error occures again and again: different classes have been deleted and I figure out which classes are missing and restore them by renaming. Especially in my situation where I have often to restart the sketch this is really a disaster.
Which version of Processing are you using?
3.0.2 Win 64bit
until tomorrow morning I hat 3.0.1. After Installation of 3.0.2 I run the sketch with that version and the same errors occured. For safety I just deleted the Installation folder of 3.0.1.
I asked because this problem was showing in several alpha release versions of PS3 but I have used both 2.2.1 and 3.0.2 on Osx without experiencing this problem so I don't know what the solution is, sorry :(
I use the OSCP5 library from Andreas Schlegel to send Data from Max (cycling74.org) to Processing. Many variables are modified from Max during runtime. I have this problem since changing the code from P2 to P3. Could it be that there is an issue with OSC/ OSCP5? With processing 2 I cannot remember something like that.
I have not used this library but unless it changes the actual source code then you shouldn't have this problem.
Processing 3 has introduced a new file path for the "sketchbook".
When 1st installing P3, make sure to specify a path diff. from P2's.
Lest you end of corrupting installed libraries, modes & tools from both versions!
thanks for all your replies! I see. When I start P2 from the icon in the install folder in fact a P3 window is opening. My Sketchpath is even identical because i work at the same project with both versions. So I should probably deinstall P2, the libraries and P3 and reinstall P3 then.
In PS3 open Preferences from the menu and change the sketch folder so it is different from PS2. Then you can have both versions available.
i identified my problem: there was a synch feedback between 2 dropbox connected pc. I solved this by manually deselect the synch option for the concerning dropbox folder for one pc.
thanks for the discussion!
