Version: 0.4 OS: Linux I had a very bad incident of data loss today. I rebooted my system using KDM, and when it came back i had lost a lot of notes from my kjots bookshelf, everything since last reboot it seems, looking at the files in .kde4/share/apps/kjots. The loss is probably not a programming error in kjots, i suspect it happened because of a crash in kontact. But i think kjots should do more autosaving, either everytime a document is changed, or in intervals. Alternatively, PLEASE provide a save menu item. I can see that there is a save action, it is just not in the menu, at least when kjots is embedded in kontact. Please put it there, even in addition to autosave improvements. Apart from data loss, kjots is fine. But data loss is not acceptable, even if it is not directly kjots' fault!! Reproducible: Didn't try OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.35-ARCH Compiler: gcc
Afterthought: If your progam have documents with unsaved data, this should be visible in the ui. There are standards for how to do that.
This is odd. KJots does save periodically. What version of KDEPIM is this? Trunk? 4.5? What is in .kde4/share/apps/kjots?

I have had another incident of an unsaved page!!! I think it is the current page. I have nested books, eg school->history->pagename.
Git commit e520aa4b49a50da8d2b1f08e4b8676213baa5cde by Igor Poboiko. Committed on 05/05/2020 at 09:06. Pushed by poboiko into branch 'master'. [KJots] Provide explicit "Save" action, use standard actions where possible Summary: Use some standard actions for save, next page, previous page, rename. Add "Save" action to menu and toolbar, otherwise it's not even clear how to save the note. Don't use `QInputDialog` when renaming, just trigger inline rename. Also, perform save procedure on quit (inside `KJotsWidget::queryClose`). TODO: this is not yet functional, need to perform a synchronous job and wait for result.
