Summary: default_movie_file.dov is overwritten on EDGE startup

Created: 2011–10–19 12:28

Status: Released

Category: Bug

From: frankie

Version: 2.2

Released_In: 2.3

Description:

If you record a file using the one-click recording in simdata, it records to a default location (/tmp/default_movie_data.dov on linux). If you exit EDGE and then restart, this file is clobbered with a file size of zero.

frankie October 19, 2011, at 12:31 PM: Not sure if this was the intended behavior or not. Seems like it should only overwrite once you record a second time. In any case, as a workaround, after recording a file using the one-click method, make sure you copy over that file to somewhere permanent _BEFORE_ running EDGE a second time so that you don't lose your work.

It now waits until you hit record to clear out the file, which avoids unintentional deletion. Also, this fixes the bug for 00459, which was when someone hit enter in the dov destination filename field rather than using the file chooser. @] |
