Hello, since kiozen asked me not to "produce too much noise" in the QMapShack issue list, I dare to continue discussion on this list. Is this OK?
I encountered a rare but still possible way to crash QMapShack https://bitbucket.org/maproom/qmapshack/issues/140/qmapshack-crashes-speicherzugriffsfehler#comment-28547334 The issue is solved but will take quite some time to trickle down the update flow of all distros etc. And beyond this issue, other nasty thinks may lurk in the plethora of murphy's laws, like power shortage and bluescreening operating systems (got one last night ;-\\ ) . I see an aggrevated risk of data loss due to the two step storing approach when working with QMS: When you edit some item (track, route, waypoint), you enter a "change-finish" workflow that "feels like" saving your work. But as I understand - at least when your data is in a gpx project - this is not the case: Your data is not saved to disk until you save the gpx. And in a database, I see the "synchronize" function. So I assume the same problem in general. Am I correct ? Or Is there any way to restore work not yet finally saved - maybe not yet documented ;-) ? Are there any plans to implement this in the foreseeable future? I know such things from firefox or from open office. I can imagine that this is quite a bunch of work which may not find an easy way to the top of programmers priority list. Meanwhile, maybe some warning lines in the manual could reduce user annoyance. May I offer to produce a page like "backup your work" in the wiki, to be included in the manual ? Or would it suffice co include proper warnings here https://bitbucket.org/maproom/qmapshack/wiki/DocHandleGpxFiles https://bitbucket.org/maproom/qmapshack/wiki/DocGisItemsEditMultiple -- Wolfgang Rosner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
