just want to inform that i had a severe files malfunctioning using dopus.
My System is a Dell Vostro laptop with Windows 11 and 16 GB ram.
I installed the last version (not beta) of dopus and i was trying to open .docx files and .xlsx files.
Unexpectedly, after opened the files via dopus, the system presented older version files.
I lost important changes in the document and i had to get back using the backup to bring back the latest files.
This happened two times, both with xlsx and docx files using dopus to open the files.
I tried with the last beta and the problem persist.
After uninstalling the dopus the problem disappeared.
That isn’t something Opus can do (unless a script is installed that’s doing something strange, or similar, but that’s unlikely.)
Opening a word document just sends it to Word (or whatever is associated with the file type). Word is then what actually opens the file, and Opus isn’t involved at that point.
OneDrive may also be involved if the files are in one of its folders and it is confused about what the latest file version is. The Documents folder is taken over by OneDrive by default in Windows 11 now, making OneDrive more of a problem and surprising a lot of people. But, again, that doesn’t really involve Opus.
Thank you for the reply.
I checked everything. Onedrive is disabled. As i said was unexpected and really strange behaviour.
I add that i have an ssd as disk.
As per the steps to reproduce the problem, i just installed the Dopus trial version (no licence) and tried to open some files. In particular some office 2021. I worked on the files, then saved. I closed dopus. The next time i opened dopus i soon noticed the file size of my document was shrinked. I opened the file and the content of the file was old, many pages missing (i'm writing a scifi novel).
For the xlsx file something similar happened. When i reopened the file with dopus, i noticed the size in kb whas decreased and the content of the document was old.
Forgot to tell, i use Windows 11 insider preview.
Opus is just reporting the size of the files, the same as File Explorer or anything else will report the exact same sizes. It isn’t what modifies them, if all you’re doing in Opus is opening the files in Word.
Never seen anything like it with Opus.
It looks like some other process is replacing the files with older backups (something like OneDrive, but could also be Google drive if it's in one of the monitored folders : I had issues with a file opened on multiple computers where saving it somewhere was not propagated due to the fact it's opened elsewhere). With Office autosave function that could lead to strange behaviours.
