Cannot save project: "unable to save auxiliary storage"

[ghost]

Describe the bug ### PLEASE STOP EDITING THIS PROVIDE A SOLUTION][UNRESOLVED CLOSED BY GIOMAN

THIS ITEM IS NOT BEING RESOLVED BUT CLOSED BY @gioman

IGNORING A MATTER IT ALLOW YOUR SOFTWARE TO DELETE YOUR CUSTOMERS DATA KNOWINGLY. I REFER YOU TO THE FACT THAT QGIS LOST A DAYS WORK IN IT AS IT WOULD NOT SAVE

@roya0045 stated "Don't put your things in the temps folder as they will be removed by your system. The fault is not on qgis.". ** Why is QGIS Placing this data here** !"

I have had to block @gioman as he is not providing a solution and is not following rules of conduct. How can he then edit my page and data!

QGIS 3.10.2 seems to have a saving issue refusing to save work you have done. This happens if you are called away from your desk for several hours when you try to save your work you will have the following unhelpful message pop up and cannot save your work. Leading you to quit QGIS and loose it all which is incredibly frustrating. Save As has the same result. And there is no way that i can find to recover

The directory contents its looking in do not hold this directory at all!

How to Reproduce 1) It is easy to reporoduce start QGIS with your project open in the morning 2) get called to a meeting for 4 hours 3) come back make some more changes and try and save them pressing the save disk button results in you being not able to save the work from QGIS

Additional context

This has been ongoing some time and is getting the point of bewilderment . I love QGIS but guys this is fundamental

[roya0045]

Don't put your things in the temps folder as they will be removed by your system. The fault is not on qgis.

[ghost]

I haven't put anything in a temp folder @roya0045 .My file is located on a different drive connected to the system. QGIS chooses this directory. I have not used a temporary directory to place my project there or used it before or given to QGIS to use . Hope this clarifies.

[roya0045]

You might have connection issues to that drive. I never had such problem and I always work on shared networks.

[ghost]

@roya0045 nope the drive is internal on the same bus as the C drive so no problems there . This is
a QGIS fault its doing something it should not, but if its searching in a temporary folder for something then it should not have placed it there as you stated already as windows will remove it . Why then is it placing something there that my project cannot locate ...\AppData\Local\Temp\QGIS3\qt-jl-icons

[ghost]

@roya0045, Just saying it lost all my work today. It creates this temporary folder item when you load a project. I am not sure why it places it here when it has its own directory when the project is loaded it then creates two directories in ...\AppData\Local\Temp\QGIS3-AIZuNG and \AppData\Local\Temp\QGIS3-AQOHtj . The latter holds a copy of the .qgd file i am not sure why : See below :

If this is created as is in the temporary folder which you stated was not a good idea placing a project file there, as windows routinely deletes things why is QGIS doing this and is this not a BUG?

[nyalldawson]

This is a bug

[roya0045]

@MPN-stack thanks for the details, this should be helpful to anyone that will tackle this.

[gioman]

Closing as duplicate of https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/26365

[ghost]

This is still is doing this . It did this again today exactly the same message and failure to save i set my home directory as specified and it does exactly the same creating QGIS items in temporary director which windows purges. why is @gioman closing items still unresolved ? This is preventing QGIS getting better

[ghost]

This is a bug

Yes @nyalldawson its unresolved and this idiotic person on here above closed it again why is he working for you no disrespect intended. But you are not going to get anything fixed which is a bug if this is all this person does for you .

[ghost]

It is quite apparant to me that this is creating these temporary files as my data project is on a non c drive . Why is it copying it to a temporary area in the first place when @roya0045 told me i should not even keep my own projects here ? You do not seem to be providing any support . Do i have to start posting in forums to wake you all up ?

[ghost]

@gioman <------- YOU have now closed #20828 , #34462 and #34462 stating they are all duplicate with no master record still being open . How are you resolving this issue just closing it?

[DelazJ]

@MPN-stack

why is @gioman closing items still unresolved ?

Probably because (quoting @gioman )

Closing as duplicate of #26365

@MPN-stack

This is preventing QGIS getting better

Keeping the same issue reported multiple times won't make it better neither. Better put all the information at a single place. But being disrespectful and insulting would certainly make people feel less concerned about your issue.

Do i have to start posting in forums to wake you all up ?

Feel free if you think it would bring a positive outcome for your problem.

[ghost]

@DelazJ Well at least 3 people have this same problem have now closed #20828 , #34462 and #34462 so its not just me @gioman has closed everyone suggesting there is more.

Further more 1 found 9 open and 16 closed https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+auxiliary+storage

This means that you have potential ### 28 users with this problem if they are all duplicates. Why is no support being given . Why is this QGIS procedure copying this project to a folder the QGIS team know it will get deleted from . Is that not extraordinary to you it is to me!

Further more a positive outcome is hard to get to if all the QGIS team do is mark duplicates with no outcome closing them. Would it not be better to put the effort elsewhere?

Yes i must agree I feel insulted too its very disrespectful to waste someones time when they enter in information in the hope of a solution to have it closed and ignored under the pretext that a solution has been given out that suits all duplicates when it does not.

[alexbruy]

@MPN-stack please stop spamming the same message in all related tickets. As you was told many times, opening multiple tickets does not help at all, this only makes it difficult to developers and other users to find information about the problem. It is enough to open only single ticket and put all information in it.

Closing duplicate tickets is a normal practice.

Also as pointed by @DelazJ being disrespectful and insulting would certainly make people feel less concerned about your issue.

[ghost]

@alexbruy , Please stop renaming my data

[ghost]

There is no point closing a ticket if you have provided no solution to potential 28 other people. That is called ignoring a problem .I will stop Spamming which is what you call it, when i call it informing people of whats happening when you provide a solution. and stop ignoring it.

I CALL IGNORING A MATTER IT ALLOW YOUR SOFTWARE TO DELETE YOUR CUSTOMERS DATA KNOWINGLY. I REFER YOU TO THE FACT THAT QGIS LOST A DAYS WORK IN IT AS IT WOULD NOT SAVE

[DelazJ]

@nyalldawson stated

This is a bug

So yes, this is a bug to fix. Now as you have noticed, there are around 3400 open issues so this one fall in the group and will get fixed when it will. If it's a priority for you, you can finance it. Please go and read http://nyalldawson.net/2016/08/how-to-effectively-get-things-changed-in-qgis/ to understand a bit how things work in open source. And it's closed because there's already the same issue reported by someone else. Not because nobody cares.

@MPN-stack

Further more 1 found 9 open and 16 closed https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+auxiliary+storage

This means that you have potential ### 28 users with this problem if they are all duplicates.

My sum made 25 but that's not a big deal. Issue is that you are mixing different kind of issues in your list and also, if you have read each of them, you'd notice that some are closed because they are fixed.

[gioman]

YOU have now closed #20828 , #34462 and #34462 stating they are all duplicate with no master record still being open . How are you resolving this issue just closing it?

@MPN-stack please make an effort and try to understand how things work:

20828 is completely unrelated to all the fuss you are doing and it was closed as no feedback was given by the time we shipped a new major release.

34462 was closed because IS duplicate of #26365 and the policy is to try keep 1 (ONE) ticket open for the same issue, usually the oldest one.

and this idiotic person

thank you for calling me idiot, I will propose your suspension or ban from this platform.

But you are not going to get anything fixed

you clearly do NOT understand the rules of the game: there is NO guarantee that any of the tickets/issues that have been reported will be fixed in time for any release, regardless of the number of persons can be impacted by it. This is open source, so if something bothers/blocks you you should ask yourself what you can do to have the issue sorted sooner than later.

Further more 1 found 9 open and 16 closed https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+auxiliary+storage

this does not means that this tickets are all about the same issue. If there are duplicates open, then some of them should be closed.

Why is no support being given .

If you want support other than the free/gratis one that a lot of QGIS members put in the communities each day, look at QGIS commercial/professional support page.

Why is this QGIS procedure copying this project to a folder the QGIS team know it will get deleted from . Is that not extraordinary to you it is to me!

it is a few millions lines of code, shit happens.

Yes i must agree I feel insulted too its very disrespectful to waste someones time when they enter in information in the hope of a solution to have it closed and ignored under the pretext that a solution has been given out that suits all duplicates when it does not.

then one who insulted other was you. I'm just trying to do my "job" which is to try keep this bug tracker as less cluttered as possible. If you open an issue that was already be reported it will always be closed, this does not means that is a useless effort as tickets are always cross-referenced.

@gioman Please either provide a solution or stop editing my data. @gioman gioman changed the title [UNRESOLVED ] [CLOSED BY GIOMAN] Cannot save project: "unable to save auxiliary storage" Cannot save project: "unable to save auxiliary storage" 2 minutes ago Duplicate of earlier comment#

@gioman Please either provide a solution or stop editing my data.

@MPN-stack look, we don't know how to explain it in a simpler way: IS A BUG. It must be solved, right. You have a few choices about it:

1) wait for the fix

2) do whatever is in your power to make the fix happen sooner than later. Among the other options: submit a patch or hire a developer.

[DelazJ]

Yes i must agree I feel insulted too its very disrespectful to waste someones time when they enter in information in the hope of a solution to have it closed and ignored under the pretext that a solution has been given out that suits all duplicates when it does not.

@MPN-stack When did you get the feeling of what i put in bold in your comment above?

[nyalldawson]

@jef-n do you have rights to block @MPN-stack from the QGIS repos? I don't seem to have the github permissions to do this, but the abuse they've directed at @gioman should never be tolerated and is completely against the project's code of conduct.

[jef-n]

@jef-n do you have rights to block @MPN-stack from the QGIS repos?

Apparently I do.

[sfreeborne]

Sooo... does anybody know if there is a fix for this problem yet?

[0verlord84]

If it can help, this error popped up right after when I copied/pasted the style from another QGIS instance. ver 3.16.14
