I posted this quite some time ago, and I think I did something similar to what you're mentioning – closing everything and reopening or maybe recreating, and everything was there.

Your response is much appreciated, thank you!

Temporary File Missing | Close the project on the project list tab

Caroline, I just ran into this problem. I navigated to the Project List, selected my project, closed it, and then reopened it. That seemed to reset whatever the issue was. I didn't have any losses other than the one segment I was working on when the error occurred. Unfortunately work cannot be saved before needing to close the project and trying to do so triggers the error message again. Hope this helps!

Hello all,

I've been working on a project on WordFast (5.17) for several days, and got to it again this morning, but the first time I tried saving my work, the following message appeared:

An error occurred. Cause: temporary file is missing. XLIFF:
[...]idml.txlf. Problematic file:
[...]txlf-[...]

I haven't removed anything, or changed anything since yesterday. Why is the file missing? This is an idml file that I uploaded directly onto WorkFast. Now it won't let me save my work, and I'm afraid of closing the project. This has happened to me once before on a small project, and I closed the project but it couldn't find it again. I had to create the project again (although my TM was able to fill the segments I had done).

What can be the reason(s) that this happens?

Thanks for any advice.

Caroline
