Title:
Safety first! Temp file before saving
Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
Fix Released
Bug description:
If one saves a session and OpenShot crashes while writing the project file,
everything will be destroyed. A previous (good) version will be overwritten.
This is what happend to me.
Since I lost a whole day of work this week, I came to the following
conclusion. When saving a project, OpenShot should write a temporary file
first. Then, if the file has been written without errors, it can be copied to
the "real" project file. After that (and if there wasn't an error) the temp
file can be removed safely. If OpenShot should crash, you've got at least the
last good save state.
Another method would be to write a temp file when opening a project.
By saving the project, the actions will be committed to the "real"
project file. After that the temp file can be removed.
Please add this to the wishlist. Thanks.
