            Bug ID: 301817
          Severity: major
           Version: 4.6.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel@kde.org
           Summary: [Data loss] KMyMoney corrupts its file when freezing
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: szots...@gmail.com
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kmymoney4

Because of a pie-chart drawing bug inside, the program slowed down very
noticeable. I had autosave turned on for every 3 minutes.

While the program had been still drawing the report, an autosave occurred and
could not finish. After that I fed up and killed the program because of its
slowness.

On the next reopening I realised that the only thing it left was a 0-byte data
file… Half year of my financial data lost forever.

Please, implement that (I think) very easy fix that before save the program
copies the sane file next to itself and after the successful operation it
deletes that. I know there's a "how many backups do you want to make" option
but it differs.
This one guards you against program faults (like this one) and the spinbox
protects you from your faults (accidentally deleted something etc.).

Even in an office suit (Word, LO) this feature is implemented. It should be
compulsory for a financial program.

Reproducible: Always
