Possible loss of source files in TeXniccenter 1 beta 7.01

Post by tixie »

Just a warning, I found that some source file may be lost if TeXnicCenter crashes.

I have a long bib file. If I press ctrl+s for the second time to save the bib file right after I have already saved the file, TeXnicCenter will complain that the file cannot be saved, then it crashes. The bib file is then gone from the disk.

I have found that when the dialogbox exception has happened, by waiting for sometime, the file may reappear in the folder. It seems that there are some background task running even the exception dialogbox comes up. If the ok button is clicked right after the dialogbox comes up, texniccenter will exit without giving any chance for the background task to put the file back.
