BUG Very dangerous #29

Closed Nick-us closed 5 years ago

Nick-us commented 5 years ago

I'll explain how it happened 2 times!

I work with many tabs open, some 15. I was editing 1 file (partners.txt). I saved him! So I saved the workspace for Project1

Already there were other workspace saved as: day 1, day 2 They all had saved files. I never leave Atom, or save a Workspace without saving a file!

I closed the Atom, went to rest, when I returned, I opened another file to edit. I had only 1 file. So I decided to open the old file I was editing (partners.txt)

And he was missing a lot of things I had put into it! They disappeared. I was desperate, it was a lot of work and I did not have backup because if I SAVE the file, I hope the computer obeys, or inform that it did not save!

Excited, I closed all the files, and asked to reopen Workspace Project1 Luckily the file was in this complete workspace!

I did not like this, because I understood that this plugin saved in a different location from the original file, and this worried me a lot, because I already lost other texts because of that. And when I saved a workspace, I thought it would just save the list of files open. And so it often removes workspace that I would not need to use anymore.

I think the plugin should not save things in different places because this has generated confusion. I think it should be when you click SAVE, do this in the original location where it is expected to be targeted, where the file is!

Hey, @Nick-us! No, this plugin doesn't save or modify any files or at least changing their locations, the only data it operates - filenames and paths. So don't worry about the security of your files. And probably this has happened because of the combination of events or bugs in different plugins.
