Description Till 2005-04-11 17:34:11 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I just lost my whole feed list, because my home-partition was full. Akregator was running. Then it exited and when starting it again, it told me, that it created a backup... Well, the backup was 0 Bytes. Additionally there was a feeds.opml~ file, which contained all my feeds. But after closing down Akregator and starting it again, this file was also 0 Bytes -> All feeds gone. Of course I could have backuped te feeds.opml~ file before, but this would not be nice.
Akregator should simply be able to keep it's feed list, although the disk is full.

SVN commit 465588 by osterfeld:

store feed list in the backend as backup. If feeds.opml is corrupt, akregator falls back to the backup 
now and loads that instead. 
Hopefully that also fixes the problem with full partitons (if metakit handles this - it should. I have to 
check, wasn't yet able to reproduce 103671)

Comment 2 Frank Osterfeld 2008-10-25 21:24:13 UTC

SVN commit 875832 by osterfeld:

Use KSaveFile when writing to files.
It's both more secure (think symlink attacks) and also prevents half-written and thus corrupt feed lists.
Already fixed in trunk, not need to forwardport.
