[E-devel] Backup function in Edje_Editor?
Hello, I'm really down, because I lost two hours of Edje design, because Edje_Editor corrupted my file. :-( I simply created a new text part. It comes up without states and after saving and reopening, the Edje_File was corrupted. Even I couldn't decompile it with edje_decc. I know Edje_Editor is in a development state. But may it be possible to add a automatic backup for saving? So if Edje_Editor corrupts the file than I could switch back to the myedje.edj.bak file. Currently Edje_Editor is to dangerous for me to use it. I mostly use Edje_Editor to create some layout and effects. Then I decompile it, learn from the source or copy&paste it into my real edc file. But anyway it's good work, even if not yet stable! regards Andreas -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The future of the web can't happen without you.

I was able to bring my file back. :-) regards Andreas -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The future of the web can't happen without you.

Do you think a single .bak is enought ?? or it's better to do a .bak1 .bak2 .bak3 etc ?? Thanks for reporting! > > I mostly use Edje_Editor to create some layout and effects.

My idea was this logic: -> at open time => myedje.bak.load -> at save time 1 => myedje.bak.1 -> at save time 2 => myedje.bak.2 -> at save time 3 => myedje.bak.3 Then cyclic overwrite bak.1 to bak.3. The bak.load is problematic as it creates a file without saving. Maybe write that file to /tmp. I think it's only a feature that needs to be as long as edje_editor isn't stable. regards Andreas -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Ok, I will make it do a backup on each save. The editor for now don't have any sort of configuration system, I like this, so the bak generation will be always on :P Dave > > -- > Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri > http://profusion.mobi embedded systems > -- > MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Skype: gsbarbieri > Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 > > -- > SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, > Nevada. > The future of the web can't happen without you.
