Sessions lost if older version loaded automatically #2569

Closed andr222 closed 6 years ago

andr222 commented 6 years ago

I have been using the latest Appimage, since the version from the current release of my distro is 2.02. Unfortunately the last time I rebooted, the version from my distro (still installed) loaded automatically. The saved sessions were automatically deleted. (It was quite a few hours trying to recover from the previous loss.) We need a prompt warning of deleting saved configuration including sessions before anything is deleted. Something which requires a response, like This version of Qupzilla is older than the last version executed. If you continue, all saved configuration and saved sessions will be deleted. C= continue and delete saved configuration, A=abort and keep saved configuration

(I might not encounter this problem again, but I'm sure that others will if it isn't fixed.)

I already said it in last issue, it is fixed, but only in new (>2.2.4) versions. I can't obviously fix it in old versions.

Sorry for the noise. I should have realised that it wouldn't be active in versions <= 2.2.4. Thanks for all your ongoing improvements. Qupzilla is already a lot better/easier to work with than my previous browsers.
