#38 Various save errors
When a query is saved, the saved query file contains
both the cql and various values that can be used to
refresh the appropriate dialog box if the reopened
query is edited. If you simply open the query, only
the cql text is used and so the query is reevaluated
correctly. In many cases, however, the extra saved
information corresponds to earlier forms of these
dialog boxes; for example, the word query dialog has
no form control. So editing a saved query may not
look quite right.
Though you can save a query that arises from clicking
in the collocation list, it crashes or behaves
strangely when reopened. It's probably quite hard to
get this right, as such queries have no cql form. I'd
be surprised if it ever worked. Perhaps saving should
be disallowed in this case.

If you save a query now you will get two save files: one
in the old format and one in a new xml format that we
propose to switch to. At the moment you can't open the XML
version; it's just for experiment and comment. It shows
fairly accurately what data is solved in the old format
file.

If you click on a SQY file and you previously had Sara installed, the file association thing on Windows kicks in and the old Sara client gets loaded. However, even if you fix the file association thing, clicking on the query file icon does not cause the Xaira client to spring into life again or open a new window. You can only open a SQY file by means of the file open dialog in the client.

A simple query or an addkey query can be relied upon to generate an invalid sqy file (i.e. one that cannot be reopend). Other basic forms of query seem to be OK (tested against 1.24.11.11)
