Hi all,
I noticed that if autosave is turned, Rosegarden autosaves a file in the
$HOME/.local/share/rosegarden/autosave directory even if the file is
'unsaved' (and some editing activity has been going on so that the satus
is 'unsaved' meaning when you have an asterisk shown in the main window
title).
However if I 'crash' (kill) rosegarden and start it up again no clue is
provided about an auto-save file.
On the other hand when working with a saved file autosave 'recovery'
works as expected by prompting that an autosave file exists and if you
want to recover that one (albeit that sometimes autosave files get 'left
behind' in the directory).
I actually think that - as strange and contradictory as it might seem -
being able to recover an autosaved unsaved file could be useful in some
cases. I know, one should immediately save the project as you start
working etc. But autosave features are ideally there to help users when
they make a mistake (like forgetting to save their latest masterpiece
and their laptop dies as they were too concentrated on making music :-)
Insights?
Lorenzo
