Hello, Automatic backups would be a nice feature. I also sometimes experience some "accidental" crashes. Regards, Piotr Kolaczkowski >Automatic backups would be a nice feature.
Settings->Configure Umbrello, turn on autosave.
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.

After that I found that the size of my .xmi file was 0 bytes. Lucky me, I've made daily backups of it. |
