Version: 1.2.1 (using KDE 3.2.1, (testing/unstable)) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.3 (Debian) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.4-1-k7 I was playing with an XMI class diagram file, which contained totally ~20 classes and few hundred attributes. Suddenly umbrello began to crash everytime when I tried to save the file. After few closing & re-opening umbrello said "error when loading file" etc. I found that the file was empty, i.e its size was 0 bytes! Wow, I lost work of several days. I'm not sure if the file was overwritten when it was saved or loaded. This is not my first umbrello 1.2.1 related problem: once it crashed when I modified attributes, and it regularly losts my custom colors & fonts. I'm sorry this bug report is not very informative. I just want to let you know, that there is a risk of getting your XMI file destroyed.
Hello, Automatic backups would be a nice feature. I also sometimes experience some "accidental" crashes. Regards, Piotr Kolaczkowski

I'm sorry for your loss of data, Umbrello isn't perfect yet. A backtrace would help us pin point the problem as would a copy of the file.
>>Automatic backups would be a nice feature. >Settings->Configure Umbrello, turn on autosave. This just happened to me as well (I made my own backup file, but I got a little lax--it's 5 days old :-( ). Unfortunately the above suggestion doesn't cut it, as I had autosave turned on. I think something more like the emacs idea of periodically creating a backup file with a '~' on the end; dia does something similar, creating <filename>.autosave at regular intervals. Unfortunately I didn't grab a backtrace, as it took a new instance of the program to discover that the file size was suddenly zero.
Hi, I created a new global config option for umbrello, where the user can define the suffix for the Autosave. The default is - at the moment - ".xmi". Thus the user can change it for example to ".auto.xmi". Now umbrello stores the autosave file always to a file which is different from the main file. Dear main developers - please check this patch and apply it, if acceptable. Bye, Achim Am Mittwoch, 19.

It happened again - I moved one object by mouse, which caused umbrello to hang for a while (maybe because it was partially swapped to disk) and then crash. After that I found that the size of my .xmi file was 0 bytes. Lucky me, I've made daily backups of it.
