Hello, Oliver Eichler > That said you will find the autosave feature in Project->Setup > Workspace. So I was just asking for another feature that was implemented long ago but did net yet find its way into documentation, right? This confirms my assumption that some improvement in documentation might be helpful. Do I understand this correct: When I have an unexpected crash of QMS, (or close it without saving changes into all of the projects), on reopening QMS, - all my changes will be restored into application memory to the state of last automatic save. - All projects (inlcuding all gmx files) will be unchanged, but reopened. - All the changes made (at the time of last autosave) will be displayed as changes still unsaved into their relevant project files (with the asterisk benath). Can I manually trigger this saving of the workspace? e.g after some chunk of work where I am still not yet sure whether I want to mess up all my gmx files opened? Can I trigger the save of my workspace to a given filename (or copy the saved state in the backgroud) to implement some kind of versions of my work I could roll back on demand? Or is it preferrably to organize rollback of work with versionized project files? Well, I see that I have version control within each object. But I suppose this is not kept in sync between different objcts or even between different projects - am I correct? And is the rerollable history saved in *.gpx files, too, or only in *.qms files? Not that I want to request another feature - just want to make sure before I write bullshit in what' supposed to enter a manual. I find a directory ~/.QMapShack, but only map related subdirs in it. ah - ... lsof ... is it this? ls ~/.config/QLandkarte/ QMapShack.conf WaypointIcons workspace.db workspace.db-journal Is it advisable to point users to this dir? Or is it too risky to screw things up? The name "workspace.db-journal" sounds like belonging to a journalling database. This begs the question whether there is more on rollback than individual objects alone? Somekind of transaction log? Is it transparent to the user? May it be in the future? Is there a difference between the concepts "Kartenansicht" und "Arbeitsplatz", as the german locale suggests? "Project \ Arbeitsplatz konfigurieren \ ... speichern ...." vs "Datei \ Kartenansicht speichern" Can I easily switch temporarily the language displayed? e.g. by some environment variable and call QMS from the command line? When I engage in documentation, I think its preferrable to start with english versions. However, I don't want to switch to default english applications. > I always recommend to walk thru all menus available when starting to > use a new software.

In times of exploding number and quality of Software bundled with distros like debian (and its offsprings), I honestly only dig into one or two levels of the menue to get a grasp of some product. When I decide for a certain piece for further examination (as I did with QMS) I really scan through a manual - if available and reasonalby structured - to get an idea of the big pictures the developpers had in mind. I remember the old joke, "manuals are for girls only" (sorry girls, this is just a quotation, I don't confess authorship on this ). However, a usable manual is something I think a good product should gain soewhere along the road towards maturity (from early beta to late beta, I'd suppose). -- Wolfgang Rosner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
