Hi
My machine was almost out of battery. I pressed save to save my work. The
battery cut out before the file was fully saved. I lost all of my work. All 2
hours of it. If I hadn't pressed save I would have lost 5 minutes worth of
work.
It would be better, if you are performing a save operation, to save to a /tmp
file, and then move that file over the existing file only when the new version
has saved fully.
This could have been avoided this way, I think.
