[Bug 151365] Re: Autosave doesn't work for Unsaved Documents

2017-03-03 Thread Jason C. McDonald
I dug into the code to try and fix this, but it's a lot more complex
than it looks. If anyone wants to start digging, look at `gedit-
tab.c:248` - that's the first catch conditional. Also look at the
function getting called if that conditional passes - there's a similar
catch conditional in there.

The main problem is that auto-save pulls in the file object, which
doesn't exist if the document is unsaved. Autosave would actually have
to save the file to some special "temporary" directory. Easier said than
done.

That's the problem. Here we have a huge group of users and one bug
tracking system but every project has it's own bug tracking system. I
even have a gnome, kde and other bug tracking accounts but i don't
report there since they also just say.. uh.. that's an ubuntu issue. Go
somewhere else.

Back to the issue. I'm on precise testing.. gedit crashed and the
unsaved docs are lost. This is a disappointing situation.

Great logic.  So, since cars and planes shouldn't crash perhaps we don't
need safety features developed for them?  Seriously, this is faulty
logic.  Software will from time to time crash.  Sure, it shouldn't.  But
if reasonable steps can be taken to prevent data loss, they should.
This doesn't really seem like an unreasonable step.

For me gedit itself has never crashed, yet I've been affected multiple
times by this bug.

Causes include:
 * loss of power
 * sudden freeze (Linux BSOD)
 * failed hibernation recovery
 * X11 killed after running out of memory
 * my own stupidity (accidental ctrl+c/kill -9)

Thanks guy, I don't think anyone here disagree on the fact it's an
issue, Ubuntu doesn't write gedit though so you should better discuss
the issue on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485471 where the
software writes will read it

This bug has been driving me up the wall. If it doesn't get fixed, I'm
going to have to switch to a different editor. I have lost so much
information that I had tapped into unsaved files before a battery drain
or  a crash occurred, and it seems that nobody cares to fix the issue.

Scribes appears to be what is needed here. It isn't nearly as nice as
gedit, but at least it saves your text.

It will save files as filename.txt.unsaved in the same folder as

Also grrr here

Typing my eMails always in editor before sending them, my gnome-session just 
crashed after chaning xbacklight, and now i LOST ABOUT ONE HOUR OF TYPING THIS 
eMAIL!! - Why the heck dont you fix gedit to save an unsaved document tmp on 
whatever directory, if this feature is enabled in preferences - I have 
Autosave files every 2 minutes so i expect at least the things of the first 
55 Minutes somewhere around my homedir, or this named out dir ~/.gnome2/gedit
But nada...

Repeatable: As often as you want if you dont save the file, and enable
autosave

My suggestion:
rename the text of the Preferences | Editor from  Autosave files every 
[textfield] minutes to  something similar like Autosave files except unsaved 
files every [textfield] minutes, or to tell gedit to save the unsaved 
documents every xx minutes somewhere around homedir, or its own dir in 
.gnome2/gedit if enabled!

But like its now its not a feeature: Its really an annoying unneeded
BUG!

Sorry for this language, im just a lil bit frustrated and want to push
this bug up to get it fixed faster!

[Bug 151365] Re: Autosave doesn't work for Unsaved Documents

2008-12-11 Thread Endolith
Should perhaps create something like unsaved1~ in the .gnome2/gedit
directory,

I'd prefer something with a datestamp in the Home directory.  In fact, I
think maybe all backup files should have a datestamp before the tilde,
and it can save multiple backup files.

For unsaved files, maybe there shouldn't even be a tilde.  We want it to
be easy to find.  If you close Gedit without saving, it will ask if you
want to save.  If you say no, there will be no emergency backup created.
So the only time this file will be created is if Gedit has something in
it and gets killed before you save.  In this case, the file should be
very visible and easy to find.

and offer to restore it on next run, similar to OpenOffice.org, or
Epiphany/Firefox with tab sessions.

Yes!

[Bug 151365] Re: Autosave doesn't work for Unsaved Documents

2007-10-10 Thread Endolith
** Description changed:

- I had gedit open with some unsaved text, and everything crashed.   It
- had been open for several minutes, so gedit should have autosaved it,
- but it was empty when I reopened it.  Where are the autosave files
- stored?
+ Autosave doesn't happen if the document has *never* been saved.  It should,
+ since data can be lost if there is a crash while an unsaved document is in the
+ editor.

** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #485471
   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485471

** Also affects: gedit via

Yes i can confirm that on gutsy (with enabled autosave option). To
reproduce: open gedit, type a few characters and wait, kill it after
some time. Seems it won't ever save anything.

I've run it with strace and, as far as i can tell, gedit never attempts
to automatically save a new file.
