Weird object problem

TomWaltz — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:47:20 GMT

Does anyone know of a reason why an object saved from a Windows machine (A slab saved by selecting it, then clicking File > GSL Objects > Save selection as...) would generate an "Unknown Document Version. Cannot read Library Part" error on an Apple machine?

The Windows machine has 2045, the Apple one has 2219.

I'm trying to use the slab-created object as a macro in another object. It does not even work correctly on the Windows machine. There it just generates an error on the CALL statement.

Any thoughts?

Today I had a similar problem. I saved a scripted object on a windows machine and sent it to a user with a macintosh machine by email.
The user got the same error: "Unknown Document Version. Cannot read Library Part".
I then sent the same object as zip-file to the user and the problem disappeared.
I have heard about that kind of problems before. What the real reason is, I don't know.

I have had many strange file corruption problems when sending
files by e-mail. I now, routinely, compress all files before
sending them or I put the files in a folder
then compress the folder.
This sounds like superstition but it seems to work.
