Hi all,

a simple question. Why i'm not able to open my old files created with C3, C4? The message is "a file not found error occurred while executing open". Mmmh...

Are those old files are looking for a plugin of some kind, that was present when you created those old files? Did you try opening them in Carrara 5 and resaving? That should theoretically do the trick if it is a compatibility issue that is connected to the program. (and best wishes for this wonderful new year)

Hi Ruud! Good year to you and your family:-)

Unfortunately i don't have carrara 5 and all the updated plugins are installed...

I have millions files:-((

Thanks

FYI: I read some kind of rumor in this forum, that Carrara 5 will be available for free on the next 3D World magazine DVD (instead of a CD). I can try opening a file in C5 for you, I think you have my email, otherwise, send me a message via this forum.

Thanks,

i don't have a precise file that i want to open, but if i need something i'll send you the file! About 3D world magazine, it's hard to find it here in Italy, but maybe it's the right time for subscription:-)

For transportability all .car files need to be saved with "save all internally" (A larger file size note!)

Otherwise the file would automatically be trying to look for it's recouces within the original making Carrarra app and/as for say image maps, looking for a file in the 'original location that map would initially have been within your computer.

It is a pretty basic principle with all file savings I would have thought?

I just found out the rumor is true (see link). You can order single copies from the mag. I think that would eventually find it's way to Italy :) Greetings!

Thanks bwtr, i'll try to save all internally from C4, and i'll let you know:-)

Thanks for the link and advice Ruud!

bwtr, in case of missing textures and all, the program asks for files, it does not reject opening the file alltogether. Pointing C6 to the old textures is still a bit sluggish, I must say, because when they are in different directories, the program stop finding them every time you switch to another one... So saving all internally is a bit faster when working on different computers. With files that have a lot of objects and textures in them it, the file size gets extremely large, introducing new time loss :)

Yes! It's work using save all internally! Thanks!!!
