I was not able to recreate the problem. Could you please provide a XMI file which makes Umbrello crash?

I think it had something to do with a corrupt file that umbrello was loading at startup. (As the last file I was working on when I quit umbrello the last time.) Unfortunately umbrello has corrupted that file further and nuked all content. (it is now 0 bytes.) So whatever was causing the problem is lost at this point. This issue of nuking the contents of an XMI file has been reported before. I would suggest making a backup copy prior to writing a file. (And make the auto save function save to some other file! eg. emacs uses #<filename> as an auto save file.)

(And make the auto save function save to some other > file! eg. emacs uses #<filename> as an auto save file.) This is already implemented. You can define the suffix of the autosaved file in the configuration dialog of Umbrello. Additionally, you can set an individual time period. I integrated this into Umbrello, as it erased also my project contents some time before. Marked as invalid because we don't have a sample file. |
