X3 computer crash, waveforms flatlined

I think I got an error message that stated that my disk was full but it has 451 GB to go to be full.

Thanks for the quick response and the tips, Scook.
I didn't know whether Gobbler was req'd to make the plugins work (I'm not a computer guy). It was the only way to upload the Slate Everything bundle, but as long as the plugins show up and work w/o it I'll just uninstall it and reinstall it if I need it to upload add'l plugs. I've had projects crash or just not load because something, whether it was Ilok, Gobbler, the previous client thingy or the plugin itself wouldn't let me work on my project without being able to tell for certain that the plugin could be authenticated/ wasn't cracked. Which party is locking down Sonar is pretty opaque to me.
 
I perfectly understand the purpose of DRM. Naturally with rampant piracy a lot of software developers are fighing for their livelihoods. But it is bitterly ironic that if we in the music business tried anything like that, we would be burned at the ****ing stake. And they'd rip off our content anyway. [/rant]
 
I just started using visual icons in console view yesterday, maybe that pushed the picture cache over the edge? Anyway, I'll clear the picture cache (never have).
 
Any way of redrawing waveforms you could recommend? They are helpful to see for edits and overdubs, crossfades...  ;-)
 
Thanks again, S

Thanks, Scook.
 
I'll email Gobbler and see what they have to say.

The cache is not accessible from the Preference screen. It is necessary to open the folder in Windows to delete the contents. Now you know how to do it.

The size of the picture cache is set by PicCacheMB in Aud.Ini. The default is 20MB. You can read about it here. The value may be changed in Preferences > Audio > Configuration File. This is an advanced setting. To see the option, make sure the Advanced radio button is selected at the bottom of the Preferences dialog.

If the audio plays when you hit "play" then nothing has happened to it no matter what the pictures show.

Emptying the picture cache once in a while seems to help avoid the "flatline" problem in the first place.

Backing up projects to e.g. an external drive is always a very good idea just in case something does go wrong with the project, files get corrupted or accidentally deleted, the PC gets a virus infection etc. Losing loads of work because a disk has gone bad isn't fun either. So backup early and backup often.

The file saving versioning function and automatic saves are useful tools for helping to avoid disaster as well.
