All, It's been years [1] (2018) since I last was rather vocal on this subject, but how is this [2] still happening? "Yes, blender deleted your data (and silently at that), that means it's working correctly!" cannot possibly be the best we can do, is it?
While I'm excited with all the directions blender development is currently going, it's utterly depressing that users are still losing data on a daily basis because we can't quite get the basics right like "do not delete the users data without their consent". These are *NOT* isolated incidents [3]. Losing your data and learning about "the fake user" shouldn't be a right of passage to become "a real blender user". Users shouldn't be silently *losing* data in an operation ironically called *saving*. That's crazy, no other application behaves like this! Yes, I know this is how we have always done it. No, this is not OK, never was. Ton: Please make protecting the user’s data a priority, as it doesn’t seem this will happen otherwise. --Ray [1] https://devtalk.blender.org/t/oh-no/505/2 [2] https://developer.blender.org/T97968 [3] https://devtalk.blender.org/t/more/22715 _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org List details, subscription details or unsubscribe: https://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
