Post From: Not a valid chartbook file?

We have seen this even when Sierra Chart has saved files normally.

We changed the way the files are written so we do not perform a truncate before rewriting the file and instead cut the end of the file off, if necessary, after writing again to ensure the existing data is not reset.

Therefore, in more recent versions, the last six months or so, there really should not be a reason why this would occur. And in the past when it occurred, we do strongly suspect that it is a Windows bug.
