Title: Error on Save
Post by: Duane Johnson on September 06, 2015, 09:49:48 PM
So I've "borrowed" someone's sequence and played with it to make it work with my set up.  However, everytime I go to save it, I get the notice attached.  I did change the path in the xml file to the path where it's located on my computer, but it still comes up with this error...any ideas?

The sequence you borrowed has a data layer that is contained in the ISEQ file referenced. Unless you have that same ISEQ file in the same path, you will see that message.

The "ISEQ" extension means they imported data as a Data Layer and it's trying to find the file we created to store that data.  You either need to get the file and then fix the path in the sequence XML or you can delete the DataLayer line in the sequence XML and it won't look for that imported data.  There is an open issue on GitHub for us to find a better way to handle that path not being found.

Hello Duane,

Further to the above two posts:

Reading through your post, if you have the iseq file and it is exactly where the message says it should be it should work , but easier to delete it from the xml and then when u open the sequence , re import as a  data layer , click render all to see it play and then save it .

So if we are sharing sequences with others and use a data layer, should we also share the iseq file with the xml files?  What is the recommendation?  I shared a bunch earlier but not the iseq files.

It won't actually be of much use. I just deleted that layer in sequence settings.

Yeah people using your sequence with a data layer would need to have pretty much the exact same models for the data layer to be meaningful.

Just deleted the data layer and it worked like a charm.  Took alot less time to render and save as well.  Thanks for the info guys!!  Hope it helps others.
