Thank you! You can alsoīook me for a mentoring / pair-programming session via CodementorĪre you benefitting from my writing? Consider supporting or hiring me. Visual Paradigm for UML is a professional UML tool that supports complete software lifecycle - object-oriented analysis, object-oriented design, construction, testing and deployment. Or supporting my work via GitHub Sponsors. I've a couple of reservations against its usability, responsivness, unnecessary limitations of what can be done on a diagram and its behavior, but it is the best tool I have.Īre you benefitting from my writing? Consider buying me a coffee vpp and opened it with VP, my lovely diagrams were back in their latest state with all other information in place! And thus VP hasn't ruined my day (rather many days) after all and I didn't need Dropbox to save me.įor the curious: I use Visual Paradigm for UML Modeler Edition 3.6 (I've also tried the latest community edition but it allows only a very limited number of diagrams - perhaps one? - before putting an unacceptably obtrusive watermark on each). Looks like VP is keeping backups of its own! And indeed, when I renamed the.
While exploring the folder, I noticed two strange files, namely. Of course the latest version was corrupted because the notebook has already synchronized with Dropbox, but there were also two previous versions and the originally added one - what a relief!!! It's not only that the text isn't visible - all the information about the model has simply disappeared from the project!Īfter a short period of panic I remembered that Dropbox, which I use to back up my SCEA folder and to share it with my home computer (I'm kind of paranoid since having may first computer that used to crash regularly due to overheating), keeps few recent versions of each file.
But what an horror! When I started Visual Paradigm (which was running when I suspended the computer), my UML tool, it asked me whether to restore the auto-saved project - which could have been expected, and I agreed - and opened the project - with all texts lost!Īs you can see on the screenshot,even the package name got lost. The notebook run out of battery and thus lost its in-memory suspended state - nothing special, it happens. Today I came to my computer to make few final but important finishing touches to my UML diagrams. For months I'm working on designing an architecture for a fictious system, which is required for the second part of the Sun Certified Enterprise Architect (SCEA) exam.
