SUMMARY Opened Skrooge in the normal way, added a series of transactions in the operations page then received this error message on saving. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Skrooge (data file loads automatically) 2. Input one or more transactions on 'Operations' page 3. Attempt to save. OBSERVED RESULT Error message as above. New transactions not added to data file. Data file can no longer be loaded directly. EXPECTED RESULT New transactions saved in data file, which can then be loaded at any time SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This appears to be an intermittent issue. Computer was left hibernated overnight but not restarted. On retrying Skrooge this morning, a warning was received that the data file had been reloaded from (exact wording not noted, implication was some kind of backup/copy file). Ignoring the warning allowed input and saving of new transactions and all worked normally (I had previously opted to reload from original file). If not possible to discover what the bug is, would a note in the manual be advisable?
This is difficult to identify what happened. So, I close this incident.
