Package: hnb
Version: 1.9.18-3.1
Severity: normal
The default format for autosave is a binary dump of the working
document. Unfortunately, this does not always work very well and
occasionally the recovery file would be empty. Additionally, one could
not simply do a diff of the recover file and the save file in order to
check for differences.
Lastly, the autosave file uses a non-standard naming convention causing
CVS and Nautilus not ignore the recovery file. Something like
"#filename.hnb#" would follow the more common naming convention.
Attached is a patch that:
* saves recovery files in hnb's native format to prevent binary
corruption.
* names recovery files "#file.hnb#" instead of "file.hnb_hnb_rescue"
