Upgraded to 1.5, then downgraded and Scapple has lost all my connection arrow!

Hi, sorry by first post is a bug/issue !

I have used Scapple for years and recently upgraded to 1.5.1 on Big Sur but it’s really laggy, so downgraded back to 1.4.2 - I have now lost all my connection arrows rendering the whole ( huge) map basically useless - retried it on 1.5 and the connection arrows are still gone - help !!!

If you go to File → Revert to and browse previous versions, do your arrows show up there? If so, try reverting the file to restore them (I’d make a copy of the current file before doing so, of course!).

Hi JenT,

I have never even seen “Revert to” before !! only had a mac since 2004 !

Thanks, a quick cycle through ( without selecting one and I think the version I want is there, I just need to backup stuff before hand.

Is Revert to a Mac OS thing or Scapple ?

Thanks,

Malc

Thanks, it turns out my time machine is ‘dodgy’ and for whatever reason I wasn’t able to revert, but I was able to view the older version and recreate the links - so thanks @JenT

The Revert to feature is something special in Scapple—not available in Scrivener, unfortunately. I imagine it’s built on an Apple tool, but I’m not entirely sure.

Glad you were able to recreate what you needed, at least!
