For reference, i am using krita version 5.2.11 on MacOS 15.7.7 on my macbook pro.
today was where the big issue came. i was working on a piece that was actually important (for commission) but the app was being kind of buggy once i’d finished the sketch- which it sometimes does- so was going to close it down and reopen it. i made double sure to save it before i did so, before closing krita down and opening it back up. when i opened krita back up and clicked on my piece, the sketch layer was gone. it had saved somewhat because i had changed the aspect ratio after making a coloured layer for my background (which i redid once i’d changed the aspect ratio) but when i reopened it it was on the old aspect ratio and coloured background it had been on before i changed it. it was the same on the file i had saved and the backup file, which meant my sketch was completely gone. i tried everything i could to try and retrieve it (using terminal to convert to zip files, checking cached files etc, basically stuff google told me to do) but my sketch isnt there.
does anyone either know what this issue could be and/or how to resolve it?? or just has anybody dealt with it before? any advice on getting the sketch back would very much be welcomed too…sorry if this reads badly or in a confusing way!
