Hi all-

FYI We believe that this bug has been fixed in v2013! Thanks to the many folks who reported this.

thanks,

Hi Red-

The LayOut autosave files are now in a different location: when I run v3.0.16845, the autosave files are placed in /var/folders/x4/q40x3v7d23j7d3vywjt6cb65mkwh3m/T/com.google.LayOut.mdurant/ and each file has a directory name of the form LAYOUT.bG3O7S. Obviously the name of the "q40x3v7d23j7d3vywjt6cb65mkwh3m" folder is likely to be different on your machine!

However, in theory you shouldn't have to manually recover these files from the temporary location - they should appear in the "Recover" tab of the "New File" dialog when you start LayOut. If the "Recover" tab isn't visible (just "New" and "Recent") then LayOut hasn't found any recoverable files. Is this happening to you?

thanks,
Marc

Hi Frederik-

I just investigated this bug - it's apparently a limitation in the PDF library that we're using on Windows. It only supports line styles up to four elements, and skips any additional elements! So, dash-dash-dot-dot-dot (five elements) gets truncated to dash-dash-dot-dot (four elements).

We're looking at possible workarounds now but I can't promise anything. Sorry for the bad news, but thanks for reporting the issue.

thanks,
Marc

Hi Charlie-

Sadly no, this one hasn't been fixed (as of v2013), but it hasn't been forgotten.

thanks,
Marc
