Saving fail AND/OR "iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile" error
Hello Twiners,
I'm totally new to Twine (started yesterday, and with no CSS/html knowledge either).
My mac laptop just crashed, and the game I'd spent the last 8 hours building had totally disappeared. The .tws file was there, 5.4MB, but it opened as though it were a totally blank new file. OH NO!
I finally recovered most of it by importing the .html version, which seems to be fine.
I had been saving regularly (using the keyboard shortcut), and am surprised / extremely worried. I'd like to use Twine for a big project, and can't handle losing several hours' work on a regular basis! (Who can?)
So my questions: I'm using a lot of PNG files, and for some of them I get the error
"iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile"
a) What is this error, and how do I deal with it?
b) Any chance this caused the massive save fail?
Thanks, and very excited about joining the Twine community,
Eiei

The error "iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile" relates to the ICC profile information stored within the PNG file.
The library Twine is using to display the image does not like it for some reason and fails, so the solution is to remove the offending ICC Profile from the PNG file.
How do I do this I hear you ask, well that depends on the image editor your using and your OS.
ImageMagic has a "convert in.png out.png" option, there is also a tool named Pngcrush that you may be able to use, but basically your looking for an option that optimizes the PNG file.
In the end not feeling confident messing about with command line apps I used GIMP to fix the three PNGs that Photoshop fucked up somehow. (Resaved them as GIFs, then used those GIF files to resave as PNGs again.)
I've also noticed that the ?temporary? .html files disappear when you close Twine. The fact mine was still there is probably a result of the laptop restart crash with the program still open?
Anyway, thanks again. Hopefully this is problem solved.
