kuhlbrad (Customer) asked a question.
Insane that the software seems to have the same problem reported while in beta...
A project file created by 9.01 can't be reopened getting GUI-125 error.
Read-from-panel works fine. Seems the software thinks the format it saves in is not compatible.
I also just noted that it appears the problem might be related to saving the file to a google drive location for some unknown reason. But using save-as to save to a google drive location and also saving again to a local folder only the local folder version does not give the GUI-125 error. Taking the file saved locally and then moving it to google drive folder then the file opens as normal. Both files were the same size but only the one saved locally would open properly.
(edit file size was a few bytes differnet but rounded to the same size kb by windows)

It appears maybe a google drive location strips a few important bits from something in the file...
Possibly C-more rejects it with GUI-125 because its extra C-more footer/signature is missing.
Looking closer at the two files, there is apparently a 32-byte footer missing after the zip file and then some 12-bytes missing from inside the zip file...
Good local file:
C:\CmoreTEMP\Schutz_HMI_7-23-26_1218pm.cmpv
Size: 758,667 bytes
Normal ZIP/project data ends at byte: 758,635
Bytes after normal ZIP end: 32
Bad Google Drive file:
H:\My Drive\Laptop G-backup\PLC Programs\Schutz Shane\HMI\Schutz_HMI_7-23-26_1217pm.cmpv
Size: 758,623 bytes
Normal ZIP/project data ends at byte: 758,623
Bytes after normal ZIP end: 0
The good file has these extra 32 bytes after the normal ZIP end:
38 0E FD 43 4D 49 58 36 D4 14 0F DF 52 51 99 C0 FC CD 28 DC 20 AE 33 D0 92 89 3D 94 A3 E9 35 0F
ASCII view:
8..CMIX6....RQ....(. .3...=...5.
That CMIX text inside the extra footer looks very C-more-specific. The Google Drive copy has zero bytes after the ZIP end, so C-more’s proprietary footer/signature is missing. That is enough to explain GUI-125 possibly...
.
Definitely two different problems. Unfortunately, the error message is pretty general and says- there was a problem opening the file. The issue from beta that you referenced was a corrupt file. Your issue writing and reading from Google drive is something else. I'll do some testing and let you know if I can reproduce the issue you are seeing.
(corrupt file is exactly what I'm seeing when trying to save to my google drive)
The file ends up diffenret size when writing it to the google drive location vs local file system...truncated footer after the zip file and some checksum or other file-related internal zip-file bytes inside the zip must be different.
Not an answer, but I have the same issue. I thought it was an older thumb drive I was using, so I tried to remember those changes I had made. Real PITA even for this small project I have.
Can you describe what you did to save/retrieve directly from Google Drive? I tested what I assumed to be your process:
Using Windows 11
1) Standard Google Drive Account
2) Installed "Google Drive for Desktop" Windows version
3) Uploaded a project from an 8.22 panel into V9.01
4) Saved the project to my Google Drive
5) Closed the application
6) Opened the C-more application
7) Reopened that project
This all worked fine.
Can you try uninstalling and reinstalling the Google Drive for Desktop utility. Since I downloaded the Google Drive for Desktop utility yesterday, it could possibly be a newer version.
C-more project files do have several checksums to prevent modifications - or malicious code injection. If a file length is off, it won't open.
I used virtually the same method. I have current version google drive on windows 11.
From C-More 9.01
File>SaveAs > Local C: Drive Location
File>Open Project>Choose new file
Project Opens
From C-More 9.01
File>SaveAs > Folder In Google Drive H: drive
(google drive folder im using is set to Offline Access> Available Offline)
Without even closing C-More File>Open Project > Choose new file
Error GUI-125: This File is not in a recognizable format
Maybe it is something I have used in my file that takes too long to compress or something?
