Hello. Did the crash occur while saving the project? Unfortunately this is a known issue with large projects and ZSTD compression. You can try disabling ZSTD compression when you save, but keep in mind this may result in large files.

To find the backup, you can go to the Help menu, click on "Open Logs Folder" and go to the parent folder. There, you may see a file which name start with "backup-". You can rename it to add the `.pxo` extension, and load it into Pixelorama.

We are sorry for the trouble caused. The issue with the pxo's size being 0B will be solved in the next version, but we are still investigating why saving a large project with ZSTD compression causes crashes.

yep, the crash happen while saving the proyect plus, now i see all the backups also are 0 B, thank to god that i save a copy of the proyect and i just lost 5 hours instead of a whole week.

how can i disable ZSTD compression?

Anyways, thanks for the quick response and feedback. As a programmer I know how complicated it is to fix these kinds of issues.

In the dialog that appears when you save a project, there is a checkbox on the bottom sidethat lets you toggle ZSTD compression, which should be enabled by default. You can click on it to disable it, and hopefully it should no longer crash.

We are very sorry for the problem, and thank you for the understanding! Unfortunately Pixelorama can be a bit problematic for larger projects right now, but we will improve on that in future updates.
