[Camino] Oh Wonderful!

[paulc]

So today I find my Finder acting flaky, so I re-start. Prior to that, 
I did have a Camino crash, but Talkback didn't want to send it's 
data, so every time I re-launch Camino, Talkback first starts up as 
Camino loads in the background. Otherwise, all SEEMED well.

Running applications exit gracefully. Re-launch 0.8.1 Camino. Ach, 
there goes Talkback not connecting. BUT, not a bookmark in sight. 
First go check ~/Library/Application Support/Camino/ and find the 
bookmarks.plist only 4k. Create and modify date are both this 
morning. Somehow it totally wiped it and started fresh.

Not at all a good thing! I HAD thought that there was a mechanism for 
backing up this critical file... that maybe it was the bookmarks.xml 
file in the same folder. But that file is dated 2/1/04, so it's 
obviously an obsolete file. Besides, it's one fifth the size of the 
real bookmarks file.

Very bad situation. While I DO have a fairly recent backup to go to, 
I think about so many users that do this sort of thing somewhat 
casually. Ones who may backup ~/Documents, but not necessarily 
~/Library.

Is there REALLY no mechanism for protecting this critical file? For 
as long as I remember, browsers always took care of this... I guess 
my mistake thinking Camino did as well!
