Gonzo I have just had the same error and while I have no idea why it happens I have found a work around, while its a little low tech it did solve the problem for me.



- Start a New Comic and then save

- On your original go to page one and Select All

- On you new comic create a new page and then paste all

- This should copy all your images, bubbles, text etc. onto your new comic for that page

- Repeat this for each page saving as you go



It worked for me, it may work for somebody else

Jon Evans Hi,



I created a new comic and copied the speech bubbles etc. from the broken one. Then I added the images from iPhoto and matched them up to how he'd done them in the original. So, the crisis was averted.



I've no idea what happened to the image cache, there was nearly 50GB space on the drive. Is there an Apple cron task that does some cleaning up in there? It's possible he had the unsaved comic open for a few days.
Kramy Hi there Jon,



Sorry for the inconvenience.



Unfortunately, the ImageCache is empty - this is not good as it means the copy to the cache failed.



I think the only thing you could do is take a screenshot of the pages so you have a record and then try to recreate the comic if needed.



If you could please check disk space to make sure that is okay - or if you can reproduce the error, please contact us using the contact form so we can try to come fix this from happening again.



Thanks for your patience.
Jon Evans Actually, after dismissing an error message for each image, I do end up with a new comic - all frames, speech bubbles and titles are there, but no background pictures in each frame. I still can't save it though, I get the same error as before: The document "Untitled" could not be saved as "New comic"..



By the way, this is Comic Life Deluxe, 1.4.1 (v8582)
Jon Evans Hi,



I've just logged into our iMac to install 10.5.4. I switched to my son's login using Fast User Switching, to close all his apps ready to reboot the machine. He's got a comic in development in Comic Life which (of course!) he hasn't saved yet. I tried to save it and I get this message:



The document "Untitled" could not be saved as "New comic".



I opened Console and this is the message that gets logged:





04/07/2008 12:39:07 Comic Life[57815] couldn't copy from: /var/folders/23/23SP6DexFJqz14cQ85M4kE+++TM/-Tmp-/ ImageCache/Untitled/Image_61214829204 to /var/folders/23/23SP6DexFJqz14cQ85M4kE+++TM/-Tmp-/Untitled/ Images/Image_61214829204




The directory /var/folders/23/23SP6DexFJqz14cQ85M4kE+++TM/-Tmp-/ ImageCache/Untitled exists, but it is empty.



I tried Edit->Select All, Copy, then created a new Comic Life document, then selected Paste. I got this error:





The file could not be copied



/var/folders/23/23SP6DexFJqz14cQ85M4kE+++TM/-Tmp-/ ImageCache/Untitled/Image_41214828958





Is there anything I can do to save his masterpiece, other than taking a screenshot and telling him to build it again?
