Backup files don't open properly

vvvv gamma bug
1

When I try to open a backup file with the .vlb extension it opens a blank callmenames file. Looking at the underlying xml, it is identical to the normal .vl file in the sketches folder. And indeed, when I switch the backup file from .vlb to .vl it opens normally again.

Happens with the latest version (252).

Edit: Opening the file from within vvvv gamma using Ctrl+O does work, though.

hi maro, the backup files are not supposed to be opened directly. renaming them to your liking and changing the extension to .vl and maybe replacing the original file is the correct workflow for now.

later down the road we can have a UI for that, but for now you have to do it by hand. and we hope not so often…
