Saving a place locally and then saving it to the Roblox cloud will quietly not work

Bug Reports Studio Bugs
#1

Open a local file.
Make some changes and do Ctrl + S.
The place will save locally.

Do File > Save to Roblox As afterwards.
The place will not save.

The only indication that this has happened is a completely silent message in the output. Studio needs to put these messages in toast popups or a window or something. This is not acceptable at all.

Expected behavior

The place should save in both cases even if there are no changes because the save-to target is different. If I am saving a game to multiple place slots, or local files, etc. Studio should always save it.

This has given me a scare twice now.

Hey @PeZsmistic
Sorry to hear that. Do you mind telling me what you tried to File > Save to Roblox As to? Was it a new game, an existing game, etc?

I tried your steps just now and I couldn’t reproduce your error when saving to a new game nor different existing game nor the same existing game.

I was saving to an existing rbxl place file on my hard drive, the same one that I had opened from the studio start screen.

I believe the complete workflow was as follows:

Launch studio, open the game from one of the recent tiles (cloud copy of the game), do some changes, save it to a local file that already exists, do more changes, do Ctrl S to save to the same local file, then Save to Roblox As over the same game that was initially opened.

I’ll review my studio settings and repro steps when I’m home.

This is still happening. Is there anything else you need?

Hey everyone! I just pinged the engineers. We’ll be having the discussion over here, this is a duplicate. Going to close it out.
