#270 File save bug (4.9.8.7)
When pressing CTRL+S to save a file it's often hangs or
crashes or simply doesn't save the editing file to disk
and the asterisk in the tab caption stays printed. Then
I close the tab and the programme asks to save the
modified file I say "Yes" and it closes the tab. Then,
when I reopen the file it doesn't contain the latest
changes!!! :(
When I select File->New->Resource then confirm "add to
project" and begin editing the file, save it and then
go on editing, it refuses to save it.
In general I experimented with saving and can't really
tell why and when it goes refusing to save or hangs. I
just can say it happens VERY OFTEN! :( So I'm affraid
to use dev-cpp as it may corrupt my sources!
Also, please, add "Save backup copy" option to the
editor settings.
I suspect CODE COMPLETION/CLASS BROWSER engine makes
many problems which possibly lead to bugs in saving
files to disk.
Thanks for your support and attention!

Could you please submit a sample project that I can try to
reproduce the problem ? also please tell which library you
installed (it is probably due to the class browser)

I found a way to reproduce second point of the bug description:
1. start dev-cpp
2. new project - choose windows application
3. save all
4. file->new->resource file
5. type something (// and enter or sth)
6. save all
7. type some more in resource file (like another // and enter)
8. save all
now newly modified rc file is still modified (has asterisk
next to the name), but doesn't save.
The problem is in:
function TProjUnit.Save: boolean;
the file doesn't fall into either "ifs" - doesn't have
fEditor and FileExists.
Colin: the below solves the problem but please review it:
instead of:
--
function TProjUnit.Save: boolean;
...
fEditor.New := False;
fEditor.Modified := False;
fEditor.Close;
fEditor:= nil;
end
else
--
I'm not sure why the fEditor is destroyed. If we kept it it
would solve the problem:
--
fEditor.New := False;
fEditor.Modified := False;
Editor := fEditor;
end
else
--
please review it.

fixed, the second part of the bug, it was a problem with
uninitialized editor.
For the first part of the bug report, I would really need a
sample project in order to reproduce it
