Description Alistair Mann 2003-01-10 15:36:39 UTC 
Version:           3.0.1 (using KDE 3.0.3)
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.18

At a disk full condition, korganizer if asked will try to save out its .ics file, but will actually only manage to truncate the disk copy to 0 bytes long. A disk full condition may therefore cause the loss of open .ics files.

Korganizer may be expected to conduct a save by first saving to a temp filename, and on successful completion moving the temp to the original. At worst, losses will be confined to that entered since last update.

Cheers,

Indeed.

I don't see that this bug 52851 is fixed, I am using 3.1.1 and audacity just swamped my disk, causing the loss of my calendar, it's a tragic loss for me. I suggest as well an automatic backup in order to be able to retrive my yesterday's calendar.

It is fixed. It's just that the fix didn't go into kde 3.1.1, but it's probably in 3.2 (in 3.3 for sure).

Cheers, Reinhold
