Hi guys i have a problem ive never encountered before on YEM.
I am using the latest edition however when i am trying to create a pack on the G2 everything okay until i try to save the pack suddenly the pack size reduces.
This doesnt happen on G1.
Once before i tried to load a pack and it said already loaded, the only way to correct this was to delete the app/data and start from scratch as i have a 100 packages this would be a nightmare anyone have any ideas or experiences.
Regards Colin

Yes, this happens on G1, surprised you never came across it;

There are 4 times where I've had this glitch;
One was, as you said, one of the packs became corrupted and I re-installedthem one by one until it was fixed (yes that was a pain).

the 2nd time, it turned out I wasn't paying attention and it kept going to cqi instead of cpi

the 3rd time, it's because one of my numbers rolled over (ie pack install size, is only measured in FAT32, so if your install goes *over*, it will simply show the remainder. Same as zeroing all the high bytes.

the 4th time, took a bit to figure out: my hard drive swap space was being eaten up by virtual swap space, and actually reduced to 0 while YEM was running, which ended up corrupting the entire 'directory' of YEM. Had to clear out gigs and gigs of memory to make sure that didn't happen, and had to reinstall YEM and quite a few of the packs. I now avoid letting hdd memory go below 3 gigs :p
