Blog.opml replaced with contents of another open outline #46

Open mistersugar opened 3 years ago

mistersugar commented 3 years ago

This is a report of another instance of my blog.opml getting messed up with the contents of another open outline. I downloaded my files yesterday so have a backup.

I am retracing my steps to try to accurately report what happened:

@mistersugar -- thanks for the report. when i was working on the twitter stuff last week i came across some code that looks like it might have caused this. i will investigate.

also, when reporting this specific problem, "what you did" isn't necessary. the problem is not reproducible that way. it's what we call a "real time" problem. something fails one in a hundred or a thousand times, independent of what the user did.

the main things i need to know are

  1. whether there were any instant outlines involved, and it appears not.

  2. were there errors in the javascript console? that really is important. i put debugging code in there to try to diagnose this specific problem. the messages produced by that code will be in the javascript console.

Anton, on the other hand, you did so many things, it's hard to imagine there will be any messages in the console about the time when the problem happened.

Here's a question -- do you do a lot of hoisting? Is that part of your usual routine?

Dave,

This was my first time hoisting in Drummer, but in LO2 I use it frequently to focus on a particular section of an outline or for when I'm showing outlining in a meeting (i.e., technography).

Thanks for letting me know.

The reason I asked is I was wondering if that was the source of the problem.

I rarely use it myself and I've often wondered if it works well with the new tab system.

BTW, you have a file in your account named scratchpad.ompl.opml

Note that you spelled the extension incorrectly that's why Drummer tagged on a .opml.

So that wasn't a problem. It works anyway.
