I'm running V3.6-RC1 Appimage on Linux Mint 20.3. Build Id: 4010.

I did a workout 2 days ago using the V3.5 stable release using the "Manual Slope Mode" workout and was able to save. 

I wanted to try using a ".gpx" workout with Live Map so I installed the development version noted above.

I did a workout on V3.6-RC1 using a gpx file exported from Strava. I connected to a Tacx Neo smart trainer. When I reached the end of the gpx route, GC stopped the workout and popped up the "Import Files" dialog to finish and save but indicated I did not have permission to save the workout to my library at Step 1. The only button available was "Abort" but it was non-functional. I tried closing the window but it was non-responsive and had to force a quit. Nothing was saved but I did find "antlog.raw" was saved.

I made a backup copy of that "antlog.raw" file. Is there any way to recover my workout from the "antlog.raw" file together with the ".gpx" file? How can examine that ".raw" file?

I tried a couple more times using the gpx file and stopped after a few seconds. I was able to save those workouts.

I am new to GC. This problem occurred on my 2nd workout. I really like what I see so far, but am troubled that I lost a workout.

Your problem looks like one detected in RC1 and fixed in latest snapshot builds: http://www.goldencheetah.org/#section-download

Hi , 
GC is an awesome program - love it.

I have a similar issue as Seve when using "Manual Erg Mode" with GC 3.6 on Windows 10.
It hangs unrecoverable at "Stage 1 of 4 Checking for File permission". 

It works when start the workout and stop after a few minutes without actually turning a pedal. It records zero power and everything and saving works fine. 
But when i actually use the trainer for an hour or so it hangs when i try end the session. 
There is plenty of space on the drive. 

Thanks
Juergen

Check the build you are using in Help > About > Version, if it doesn’t match the latest snapshot, update it.
