I am developing apps using a leased server license.
I'm seeing a problem in desktop where I've created the first version of a qvw - let's call it 'MyQVW.qvw'. I'll make changes and save it as 'MyQVW_latest.qvw'. When I'm preparing to move it to server - I'm still working in desktop - I'll close Qlikview, delete the original 'MyQVW.qvw' and copy 'MyQVW_latest.qvw' to 'MyQVW.qvw' in Windows Explorer. When I open the new copy of 'MyQVW.qvw' in Qlikview, the original UI from the deleted version appears - in desktop, as it is not yet on server.
I know to remove last session state from server - is there something similar in desktop?
Hi
Do you have any -prj folders on your desktop, eg MyQVW-prj?
If so, when you rename your copy back to MyQVW, and open it - QV applies the layout in the -prj folder, effectively wiping out the changes. This is the design behaviour of the -prj project folder.
If you need the -prj folder (eg for version control), you will need to save a copy of the original and then make the changes in the original. When you save it, the -prj folder is updated as well.

David,
Maybe your newer version which you copied onto the Server, was overwritten by the older one that was reloading in memory at that time. Was saved after reload in place of your new version.
No, as I said, this is all happening on desktop. Server isn't in the equation except for the license lease.
No idea, never seen anything like this. There is no "remove state"...
Maybe you're using auto-save and backup? (I never do.)

Ah!! I forgot about version control and -prj folders - we are having trouble getting it to work correctly (still researching) and it slipped my mind. Thanks for the clarification.
