The document "FILENAME" could not be opened

Glyphs
1

I’ve been using Glyphs v3.0.1 since it came out and it’s been working flawlessly.
But today while working I couldn’t open my latest version of a recent font.
It just says - The document “FILENAME” could not be opened -

So I opened an earlier version and worked some from that. Saved and went for dinner. When reopening that file, the same message appeared. I’ve checked for updates but I have the latest version.

What might be wrong? I’ve done nothing different, haven’t changed any settings or anything.

Not super excited about this since I have work to do.

In Preferences > Updates, check the box for “Show cutting edge versions,” currently 3.0.2 [3051].

It says I’m up to date

After you check the checkbox for cutting edge versions, then under the Glyphs name on the menu bar do a “Check for Updates”, or simply restart Glyphs.

Done both. This is after restart:

Then you either have 3.0.2 or something else is going on that either Rainer or Georg will have to help with.

It says I have 3.0.1, but also that it’s the latest version

Could finally update to 3.0.2 but makes no difference. Same ‘could not open’ message.

Probably a good idea to send the file to Georg and ask him to look at it. You can send it to support at this domain.

Apparently had to do with bad names that somehow didn’t convert or warn. (ÅÄÖ and not aring etc)

I fixed it that those names would be properly converted. You can disable the “Use custom naming” in Font Info > Other and then run “Glyph > Update Glyph Info” for those glyphs.
