We are delighted to offer a beta of our upcoming Comic Life Magiq 1.0.3 update.
It has numerous stability and significant performance improvements over 1.0.2.1 - so we would love previous users to download and let us know if you come across any issues.
A free update for Comic Life Magiq is available for all users.
Identical to 1.0.2c in all but version number, which has been changed to ensure 1.0.2 users are made aware of the 1.0.2c update via the menu: Comic Life Magiq > Check for Updates...
This 1.0.2.1 update is recommended for all 1.0.2 users and fixes a serious saving issue introduced in 1.0.2 that caused images to be left out of the document.
If you're already running 1.0.2c (v10939) you can "Skip This Version".
Head to the plasq downloads page to get the 1.0.2.1 update or update from within Comic Life Magiq.
Comic Life is great for sharing those funny little moments from school, in the office, or while on worldwide progressive-rock-legends tours.

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

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.

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.

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)

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:
