The previewing problem above has not been solved after a few weeks. Kwik does not believe it is them.

I can not finish my project because I can not preview my project.

I can not be the only one with this problem, am I?

Hi @zentemple,

I’m not familiar with Kwik’s methods, but when you “publish” one page of your book, does it generate a project folder or something? Like a folder that contains a main.lua file, all the images for that page, and perhaps a specific Lua file for the page?

#63

Kwik is a Photoshop plugin that generates all the code into a build folder, including the main.lua.

#64

Yes, I know the basic premise of it. :slight_smile: Just curious, when you “export”, where is it sending these files? To the same folder? Overwriting all of the previous? Or does it create a new folder?

#65

It overwrites. Everything goes into the original folder and the code, the individual “pages” or lua files get updated including the main.lua.

When I first started using Corona Simulator for previewing, Corona would show whichever page I was previewing. Then, one day, it stopped doing that. What changed? I could never figure that out. Nothing, as I recall.

Hi again,

OK, so just to confirm (and it’s been a couple weeks since we went through this):

  1. You export Page 1 (for example) of your book. It writes to whatever folder, say “myBook”

  2. Several minutes later (or whatever), you export Page 4 of your book to the same “myBook” folder, and you confirm that everything was overwritten (the time stamps on those files reflect the time you exported it).

  3. You open up the Simulator and it shows Page 1 again? Not Page 4?

  4. There are no errors reported in the Terminal/console?

Best regards,

Brent

  1. yes, exports to the build folder

  2. yes, timestamps correct

  3. yes, shows whichever page I had managed to navigate to last, not the one exported

  4. no errors. This is what it says, several times: "2013-11-16 06:57:57.069 Corona Simulator[50835:707] The file sandbox for this project is located at the following folder:
