Description Richard Lewis 2008-03-12 14:45:33 UTC
Version:           3.93.00 (KDE 4.0beta2) (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          gcc (x86-64)
OS:                Linux

The autosave function does not appear to work properly. This may be linked to a flag indicating amendments not being set for simple additions to an existing page. It certainly saved when I created a new page, but then it did not save the original book even, when I moved to a completely different book and made an alteration to that book which did get saved.

However, going back to the original book/page and adding something resulted in a save within a minute of entering the book. Continuing to write, however, did not result in a further save, which should have occurred 3 minutes later. (My current autosave setting.)

Obviously, I am trying to work out a foolproof way of causing an autosave, which obviously partly works. But I would be grateful for your assistance in making the "book amendment flag" reset reliably after the initial keystroke on any page in that book.

Predictable way of making it autosave? Change book and edit a page therein, then move back to the original book and edit one of its pages. That appeared to work!

I can't confirm this on kubuntu with trunk. Can you describe exactly what steps you take which fail?

Comment 3 Stephen Kelly 2008-05-13 22:08:57 UTC
Remarking as unconfirmed.
Comment 4 Stephen Kelly 2008-07-01 00:13:37 UTC
Can't confirm with KDE SVN or KDE4.0
