Dear Xournal-developers, I would be very grateful for your opinions about a patch I made for the autosave option.
I based my work on this older patch by aiwarrior: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2881919&group_id=163434&atid=827735 I had not noticed that aiwarrior had posted a more recent patch that does autosave in a separate thread. Still, some of my aditions may be useful. My work takes care of the following (copied from the patch description): Autosaves are now stored "along side" the .xoj file, with a .xoj.autosave~ suffix. If the file has no filename yet, an autosave is made in the user's homedir. Additionally, a table of all running xournal instances, together with their autosave filenames, is maintained in ~/.xournal/autosaves. On startup, xournal checks if any of these table entries have been 'orphaned' and prompts the user before restoring. Furthermore, when opening a file, xournal checks if there exists a corresponding .autosave~ file, and restores it if it is newer. I haven't studied aiwarrior's latest patch yet, but will do so. In the mean time: I am curious about your reviews of my patch. Also, could you comment on whether it is useful for aiwarrior's patch and mine to be adapted to one another? Best regards, Timo Kluck PS I am the same guy who made some UI suggestions a while ago; I am working on implementing these so that their merits / shortcomings can be judged.
