Error "Failed to save bilingual as: Could not find file:"

Question

In the middle of working on project, and the temp file appears to have disappeared. This error message appears every time Studio tries to Auto-save, as well as when I try to manually save. I have not done anything to make this happen as far as I am aware. How can I save my files (in both senses of the word)?

 No. I'm talking about the windows temp folder that Studio makes use of while you are working. 
 Gwen Gondry said: So far this is not critical as no data is lost but could I ask you for more specific info on the Temp folder/admin issue? 
 The only info I can give you is that even a Corporate user might get a security update for example, or have an automated virus check sweep the temp folder while Studio is still using it. So it's worth making sure that the Studio application is excluded from these checks and then temp files created by Studio will not be deleted.

Hi Katherine, 
 
It sounds as though you might have an anti-virus application, or maybe cleaning tool, that "tidies up" the temp folders while you're working. It might even be related to your not having admin rights on your machine. Did you install Studio as admin?

Hi Katherine, 
 
I guess you could see whether you can set time limits for the clean up and don't do it when you're actually at work. But a better solution would be if you can add exceptions to these tools, so you could add the Studio application to the list.
