Restart after "out of string space" error trashes latest state
Posted: 04 Sep 2023 11:20
I tried rolling back from a large delete (400+ files), and got an error "out of string space".
Acknowledged the prompt, then closed and restarted xyplorer. On restart, xyplorer reverted to what looks like a fresh install - screen position lost, all tabs lost, various config options lost etc.
Easy enough to fix since I have a daily overnight backup, so I simply restored the complete xyplorer folder.
My views are:
- if a major exception is thrown, should xyplorer immediately inhibit "save settings on exit"? (Yes, I know there is an option to exit without saving, but remembering that option given the *very* rare need to use it...)
- After the exception is acknowledged, should xyplorer exit rather than continuing use of the potentially corrupted current session?
regards
