Failure opening Skyline-Daily file samartinez3  2024-02-28 09:50
 

Hello, I have been receiving an error when trying to open a file that has been previously analyzed. It gives me the options to click OK or More Info, More info gives the information below:

System.IO.IOException: Failure attempting to load the window layout file W:\FilePath

I'm using a Skyline-daily with a special "apply to all" feature (from Nick). Please let me know what I need to do to properly open the files.

You can work around this error by deleting the ".sky.view" file which is in the same folder as the Skyline document.

The .sky.view file contains information about the layout of all of the windows in Skyline. Sometimes the information in there causes an error for Skyline and the best thing to do is just delete that file.

(I have tried to figure out what causes this particular error because it looks like it should be simple to fix but I have never been able to figure it out.)
