I've been thinking about this and might have a reason the problem occurred
in the first place. The flash disk (on which there is plenty of room) can
also be used as a USB memory stick for a PC. When used like this it is
temporarily unavailable to the PPC. So if MLO was running it would be
temporarily unable to access the file, so I guess it stored its data in a
buffer until than filled up. For some reason once disconnected it was unable
to reconnect.

I'll have to make sure I shut MLO down properly before using the PPC this
way, or move the file to main memory. There are a lot of PPCs able to do
this now so Andrey though it would be worth raising it with the group.

Cheers

Subject: Problem with PPC version 2.5 - losing data

I've had a problem a couple of times since upgrading to version 2.5. It has
lost a set of changes I made. The first time I thought it must be me -
forgetting to sync when I'd made the changes on the PC version or something.


The second time it came up with an "Access denied when saving" error and
refused to accept my next changes. I had entered quite a few new tasks. I
then exited and restarted the app, and it not only lost those changes but
several days worth, back well before the last few syncs. I tried a reset but
to no avail.

I then changed the filename and created a new file by syncing with the PC.
This got me back to the position of the last sync, but lost all the changes
since.

A bit disconcerting as you might imagine. I hate it when you feel you can't
trust the technology.

Any thoughts?
