Saving a file as a blend@

Support Basics & Interface
1

why does blender not want to save an adjusted file, instead saves it as a blend@ file

thanks
i use 2.69 but i assume they all do it

What? Please rephrase your question. “Adjusted file” makes no sense.

okay
i saved a file okay.
adjusted something in a shape
saved again and got the problem
thanks

What problem?

You save a new file, you open it later and modify it and save it again. The original file is replaced with the new one and a backup is created (usually ending with .blend)

Where does your problem begin?

sadly blender does not allways do what you say.
it sometimes says it cannot save and saves it as a blend@ file
like i said.
i guess you have never heard of this before

6

try to open a new file
then append objects from your other file and save it then see if you still get same problem

what will it mean if i get the same message?
what is the usual cause of blend@ files?
thanks

you might have some corrupted data mesh

are you in 2.79 or 2.9
i can give you a code snippet to find bad datablock

then you might be able to delete it and redo it manually

OP is using version 2.69, see the first post.

I found an old thread:

Seems like the problem happens when saving is interrupted, usually due to outdated hardware or other issues that might make blender unresponsive while saving.

i would suggest to move to the latest version
which is faster and has a lot more tools !
