Can't open a saved file

When ever I save a file in constructor as a csx file, I can't open it back up with Constructor.

I realize this is an old thread and you probably have it fixed by now, but you didn't run out of disk space, did you? I recently did, and Constructor acted as if it had saved, and my file was there with X number of KB, but it didn't actually finish the full save ... so when I reopened it, it wouldn't open (or give an error message, for that matter).

Just a thought.

I had a day where this happened to me once or twice. Got paranoid, saved dozens of revisions, checked the file in previous versions of Constructor, made my project folder and work scheme enormous. But I was on a deadline. Now I have slipped back into my insane-non-revision-number tendencies. This bug hasn't hit me again.

On a related note, I just got bit by a read-only scene. After being proud that I saved after every major change, granted the same file name, I opened the file a day later... and I wept. Naturally nothing was saved from the day prior. Constructor failed to inform me that it refused to save the file. My mistake, but I think a check might be appropriate.

Low on the request list naturally.

I had a similar problem: I saved my file, and when I opened it back up, constructor crashed. So I did a quick test, and I copied the text from the .map file and made another file and pasted and saved it as a .map and truth to be told, it worked... Constructor, constructor, constructor..
