Bug ID: 342381
Summary: no 'fsync' for 'akregatorc' or for 'feeds.opml'
Product: akregator
Version: 4.13.2
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
aKregator does not seem to 'fsync' very much, that is only when quitting; I
think that this was verified by Red Dieter.
This means that in case of crashes for whatever reason often the files
'akregatorc' and especially 'feeds.opml' are corrupted or empty.
This seems to be a general issue with KDE, or perhaps it was a few years ago:

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
Crash or kill aKregator without quitting it.
Actual Results:
'akregatorc' or more commonly 'feeds.opml' are empty, missing or corrupted.
Expected Results:
Files written by aKregator get committed with 'fsync' when saved or auto-saved.
It is particulaly annoying because the 'feeds.opml~' save file is not properly
syncronized either, so it is essentially useless.
