Reason: SimPe's non-repeatability issues.
Defaulting clothes, a faster approach. Testers Needed Please! 08/21/2020 Updated
Greets and Salutations!
I'm trying to define the order for making quick Defaults. There is an issue of the
Directory of Compressed Files getting corrupted depending on the sequence the changes are made. Also, sometimes "something" corrects the problem. Last night I KNEW what the issue was, it was repeatable, I could close SimPe, reopen and get the same results. I redid this Tut. This morning.....doesn't work the same way! Redid Tut! There is an easy fix however. After all changes are made, delete the
Directory of Compressed Files and save. But, I want to make sure this "always" works for everybody! Differences could be in different versions of SimPe, but I don't think so. It's easy to tell if the
Directory of Compressed Files is corrupted, if it has any numbers at the start of the lines (usually zeros) it's bad. The next step once this is working is to create a program for automatic defaulting. So this is worthwhile. I had more info on the second Tut, but with SimPe's inability to be repeatable when certain changes are made, it makes no sense add more background. So I'll just stay with the K.I.S.S. model....;-)
So if you would, (If you were able to install
SimPE and it's working, you can do this!) take a few minutes and do 1 default and let me know how it went. Thanks!
