Getting a "General Error" dialog on attempting to save project?
*sigh*
Well like it says above, the only thing that's changed other than level settings is having added a console emulator to a track. Anyone ever get this?

Just press play, and it goes away.

Hrm, good tip! I usually avoid that because it's then you get the magic crash of doom.

Well if pressing play causes a crash of doom...don't do it  But it's always worked for me.

I've encountered that error. It seems, more than not, when I've left the project open and haven't done anything on it- like allowing the hard drive to 'sleep.' But like others say, press play, then save. That always works for me.

I wonder if it relates to USB ports going to sleep due to Microsoft's power management feature? Of course it could also be poltergeists.

Sounds like an easy fix for the bakers in the next release :-)

Can anyone reproduce it, or figured out what causes it to happen? It seems like one of those "UFO bugs" - if you've experienced it you know it exists, but you don't have any physical evidence.

It sounded frequent enough that you have a known workaround? A hacky fix would be just for sonar to internally/silently call play /stop before saving maybe?

Hopefully the Bakers can find the cause of the problem and fix at the source. It's a weird bug because it seems really scary, but doesn't cause any problems if you just press Play. Before I figured that out, though, I'd be scared to touch anything..."General Eror" always sounded sooooo serious...

Like I said earlier, I only "notice" that it seems to happen after a period of inactivity- sometimes not very long inactivity but... then again... ;)
