[Bug 679917] Re: Backup copy of project.

 

If we drop all bug reports that are old this whole migration of bugs
could've been prevented.

Although I agree that formally "wishlist" is what you'd call a new
feature like "autosave", it should be considered an essential fix to the
system as long as sudden crashes still linger around.

A (hypothetical) bugfix for say: 'it crashes when I click on the 31st
image in the preview' can be solved by saying "don't do that then". And
"not crashing when clicking on the 31st image in the preview" is a
wishlist item that someone would like to see implemented.

I mentioned "nona" and the writing of the PTO file because it probably
didn't crash until after I had once made a test-stitch. But in general
I've had it crash before I've made my test-stitch as well.

Bug description:
Hugin just crashed on me. Pre 0.7.0 this happened so often that I knew I had to save often, or risk losing my work. 

So far this is the first since I went to 0.7.0. Now 0.8.0 crashed on me.... However I'm most pissed that a pto file got saved to run "nona", but this gets (I think) cleaned up after running nona. So now I'm left with a project file with hours of work missing. 

PLEASE write a backup pto file where I can find it, or mention "this project had unsaved changes when hugin crashed, load the backup file?" when I start it. (then I don't need to know where the backup is stored...).
