Hi Enrico, You are right the user should take care of his disk space. The script that run was not really to blame, it generated 2GB raw scanned images on a 4 GB disk, warning of no more disk space came up but was to late. But this is not the problem behind losing the working files that geany had opened. Geany should provide a fail to save error and catch the exception. It should then not renew the displayed contained of the file. But should let the user provide an other place to store the file. This way the current work will not be lost. Thanks in advance for any fixes, Are you goging to fosdem? Then I can buy you a beer for the great Geany tool.
