Error Message
Mar 07, 2017
I'm in the middle of a big project that I have been making for over a month now. I'm was attempting to rename one of layers to one of my slides and I accidentally named it the same as the a different one in the slide. It gave me a message saying "Unique Name Required. Slide Layer name must be unique." The issue is that whenever I click "OK" to try to reenter the new layer name, it doesn't give me anytime to correct the issue. The message just keeps popping up. I have done a lot of work today and I'm not sure if any of the updated work has saved so I would rather not have to end the application. It doesn't give me an option to save or anything and it is driving me crazy. Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah must be a bug. I just had same problem. Could not get out of loop. I quit using task master and luckily all data saved. Just testing and so far so good, but could not get out of the loop.
I second Cathal's point. SL's autorecovery function is pretty robust. Wait for 10 minutes (or the length you have set autorecovery to), then end SL with Task Manager. I usually restart the maching to clear memory, but when you restart SL, you should have most of yor work saved.
BTW, you can go to File-Options and change the interval of autosave.
Ok thank you very much. Luckily all of my project was saved but that bug was making me go crazy.
