HELP! all my chunks just disappeared!

Post by Chagos »

very scared at the moment.
i have a project with about 12 tracks that i had been recording on for the past couple weeks, and i opened the project, moved the arrow to measure 1, and then clicked command-f.
a window came up and said "clear something" and i was not paying attention and said yes, now all my chunks are gone.

What the heck?

i realized i had not saved, so i closed dp and opened it again hoping the chunks would show up where they were, but it opened and they are still not there!. i then went to "undo history" and there was nothing there.

what the hell did i do?

it was the "global view filter" i cleared.

Because it's just a filter that you can change at any time.

So it gave you a good scare for a moment, uh? :)
