Version: 1.2-beta (using KDE 3.1.93 (3.2 beta 1), compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.2 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.0-test9 Everybody hopes that their favorite application does not crash and can work forever. I've had bad luck and umbrello has erased a diagram file after crashing with an assigned bug. Now I have to redraw again all the job. My wish is to have a backup file when saving, if not automátically created, with a check that enables this feature. Thanks for Umbrello.
Autosave can be turned on in the configure dialogue and saves a file to ~/autosave.xmi every 5 minutes.
I just had the same problem, I had autosave enabled and cannot find any autosave file. Can we reopen this or file a new bug with autosave? I am using KDE 3.2 beta 2. SuSE RPMs, SuSE 8.2

I think we are talking about 2 different things. You want autosave to save to another backup file. At the moment, autosave just saves to the current file. I think this is normal behaviour. So a backup save would be something else. If you really need this, open a new wishlist entry in the bug database. Steinchen
As I said above autosave saves to ~/autosave.xmi This is not entirely obvious, it would probably be better saving to myfile-autosave.xmi
This may be solved same as in KWrite/Kate: by creating a backup copy of a .xmi file in the same directory, but with .bak extension or "~" added.
