Save duplicate suddenly works differently

Rhino Rhino for Mac
1

Hi guys, normally when I use CMD+Shift+S I always got a duplicate file with in the header of the document, the same file name and I could edit the filename easily to create consecutive names. It would always save this file in the same folder as the previous file I worked on where I used the CMD+Shift+S key combo.

Now, since a few days it’s been behaving differently.

The new file I get is called “Unsaved Rhinoceros Document.3dm” and it’s placed in the folder “Autosave Information” by default.

Is there anything I can do to turn the save as a ‘Duplicate’ back to the way it used to work or am I having some error in a config file or something?

I hope someone has the answer, because this is crippling my workflow. Every time I want to make a backup and work on in a new file I now am pulled out of my focus for having to browse my computer to put the new file into the correct folder and copy the name in the previous window and paste it in the new one and add a higher number to it. And I hope this doesn’t sound strange O:)

Is there really no one that has any idea how to change it back to the old way it used to save? This is driving me completely nuts…

I didn’t like it either. Then again, maybe I just don’t like change.

I suppose the question is whether the change is intended by the developers, or an error?

Hi, sorry for the slow response…I realize now we never circled around and acknowledged that this was broken. MR-3225 is fixed. This should be back to the way things were in the 5.4.2 update.

Hi Dan, thanks for coming back to update on this question! Updated and now it works like before, great. Thanks a lot.

I’m getting the same issue in version 6. It’s annoying being unable to duplicate a file to the same location, or a location of my choosing. I seem to be running the latest version (6.21) so assume there’s no update to resolve this.

Same here.

Hey!

Don’t know what happened but I am running Rhino 7 on Mac and now my duplicate function is not working. I have been using it as a save as since there is no save as so same problem over here any suggestions on how to correct?

Thanks!

Never mind! Just had to copy paste the file to new location in the finder and open from desktop now duplicate works again, ok! Maybe that will help someone later on down the line!
