Maybe-a-bug-report: "Recoverable" documents


Recommended Posts

Yes, the title is click bait at its best. :D

This is something I discovered to my surprise. And maybe this is already available in the retail version.

1. Create a document somewhere (desktop, network drive etc.), save it and leave it open.

2. Delete the document - not moving to the trash folder - deleting it completely.

3. Return to the open APu document, make a little change and save it.

Result: The intact file appears where it was originally lying. This even works with larger files. It seems to be, that the whole document is inside the memory.

I can repeat this in Photo and Designer, both released and beta. These documents should be locked by their respective apps during editing?

This is a horrible bug!
Since all 3 retail-versions fail to lock the open file it can be moved/deleted without warning.
Even worse: the applications do not warn you, when closing the open file.

Thank god Serif spent developer-time to develop Astrophotography filters etc... far more important.. (?).
