Hello, and it is still happening.
All of the files corrupted are in the project folder, i.e., C:/Users/John/Documents/Lazarus Projects/file name
When I made the changes I would click on “File-Save All” after every few changes. I did this much more frequently than I normally would because of the problem.
The Project is called “Statistical Distributions Sep 18 2020" and the main program form consists of a lot of Radio buttons, each will, “On-Click” execute a showmodal on a specific statistical distribution. Currently I have only coded three: a Beta Distribution, a Beta Prime Distribution, and a Cauchy-Lorentz Distribution. Each form is very much like all of the other distribution forms: a TAChart showing six variations on the probability density function plotted against “x”, twelve Edit boxes to imput shape parameters, 36 labels that display the various characteristic parameters for each curve, a TmainMenu component having six menu items: Zero-out all variables, initialize all variables, calculate, print (not yet programmed so the on-click event has not been activated in the Object Inspector, and a close command. That pretty much sums up the extent of the coding so far. When completed I anticipate up to 45 or 50 radio buttons with a concomitant number of forms. There is also one unit that is in the uses part of each module. This unit contains the definition for the arrays that are used and the variable to access each array.
I am using Lazarus IDE v2.0.8 r62944, my OS is Windows 10, 64bits.
It appears that the changes were saved to the corresponding file in the backup folder. However given what is happening I am afraid to touch that backup file for fear that it too will disappear.
The program was before all of the mayhem began compiling and executing with the one completed distribution, the beta distribution. However, the last time I tried to compile and run I got an error and the following message: “Project project StatisticalDistributionsSep182020 raised exception class ‘External SIGSEGV’. In file ‘formmainprogramsep182020.pas at line 88: FormCauchyLorentzDistSep202020.showmodal;”.
I do not have any other information at all, the above is all I know or have seen.
Once again, thank you in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
John
