Hi guys, I hope that this one is not something like a well known bug. At least I could not find a fitting but in the Bugzilla yet but aehm well it's quite hard to find something without reading a few hundred bugreports ...
If I do the following with LyX 1.4.3: touch foo.lyx lyx-qt File->New File->Save|Save as->foo.lyx I can trigger the following assertion: (captured with -dbg any) LyXFunc::dispatch: cmd: action: 5 arg: '' x: 0 y: 0 Select with path "/home/sven/", mask "LyX Documents (*.lyx);;All files (*)", suggested "foo1.lyx" Synchronous FileDialog: result 1 Over-write document? ---------------------------------------- The document ~/foo.lyx already exists. Do you want to over-write that document? Assuming answer is &Over-write &Cancel Exception caught: boost::filesystem::copy_file: "/home/sven/foo.lyx", "/home/sven/foo.lyx~": Success Assertion triggered in void boost::throw_exception(const std::exception&) by failing check "false" in file ../../src/boost.C:29 LyX: Attempting to save document /home/sven/foo.lyx /home/sven/foo.lyx.emergency Save seems successful.
