Storyline is locked by another process
Once again, Storyline has a major bug that has persisted for years without a solution. The poor people who monitor this forum are left to suggest workarounds while Articulate rakes in the cash.
I'm having the same problem all of a sudden with multiple files. This thread is over 3 years old.
How does Articulate continue to perpetuate this awful application?
Possibly because it's a fantastic environment for building interactive courses that work consistently well on all devices, and while this is a PITA when it bights us, it's one we can deal with.
I was in the situation that my employer supplies a laptop with limited space so they got me a 3TB external drive for my multimedia and I moved my entire Documents folder, and I worked on it for 2 years before I found out they don't advise it. Moving it all back to C: made zero difference, besides, but I did it, and at the end of every day I simply close Storyline, and copy the file to D:. This bizarre problem occurs from time to time despite having closed the file and app! But I simply browse to D, open the copied version and immediately save it do C. It took me more time to type this message.
There's definitely some mystery why they're still 32-bit and the only Windows program I've ever seen with this particular annoyance. Both the results and the support I've obtained from Articulate have outshone my many years previously with Captivate by gigawatts. I'm not losing sleep over this bug.
All the best!
