Re: [Gramps-bugs] Gramps crashing and corrupting data file

[Benny M. <ben...@gm...>]

2.2.9 has a bug not allowing you to directly edit XML files.
Direct edit of XML is anyway something you should try not to do, better is
to import in .grdb database, do your work, and export to xml if you need a
backup or for other reasons.

If however you need direct edit of XML, you should use 2.2.8 instead, or use
the development version branch22 in subversion where this is already solved.

2.2.10 is not planned at the moment though, we considered this a minor
annoyance only. Are you sure your data was corrupted because of this? That
would make this bug high priority instead.
