Storyline is locked by another process
I need some help. I was trying to publish the file to LMS and it crashed and closed by itself partway through. I though I would try again, but I keep getting a message "The project "Storyline" is ...
Just for the record, I've noticed a change in this behaviour and I just confirmed it when it happened again this morning — as of several updates ago it seems I can skip the copy/rename step entirely... just browse, even to the very same file that just threw the error, and it now opens just fine.
It's still a very curious problem, apparently unique to Storyline. I closed the file from file menu, exited last night, and installed the September 21 update before receiving the message yet again.
Life's just too short. 😉
