i just spent several minutes drawing a frame, and moved onto the next frame and then it oofed

i was using the small sized canvas, with opacity almost all the way down

this is the second or third time this happened, but i was drawing a frame, literally nothing was going wrong so i don't know what it was, but i made another frame and with the first stroke i made, the previous frame i was drawing just transformed into the new frame

The undo button doesn't work :'D

please tell me how to not do this

What device were you using?

I’m in the middle of writing an update which should improve the reliability of the editor.

The problem today is that the animation data structure is very complicated. The way images and frames are stored and then backed up in your browser database seems to occasionally have synchronisation problems.

I’m rewriting that code to simplify how the synchronisation works and adding additional checks to test if it goes out of sync.

Should be ready in a few days - along with an awesome new feature.

Oh, and the reason it's so complicated in the first place is so that you can create hundreds of frames (hopefully) without running out of memory on your computer and it slowing down to a crawl.
