Hmmm, this is strange, since LyX checks when closing the file whether
the write was successful (if I understand correctly). The relevant
code is
// Write marker that shows file is complete
fprintf(file, "\n\\the_end\n");
if (file.close()) {
if (flag)
lyxerr.print(_("Error! Could not close file properly: ")
+ filename);
else
WriteFSAlert(_("Error! Could not close file properly: "),
filename);
return false;
}
I would think that this returns false as long as a write failed at
some point. Am I wrong? Another possiblity uis that the warning showed
up on console and not as a popup.
It appears that BufferList::write() calls Buffer::writeFile with flag
set to false. Is there a reason for that? I'd think that one would
like to have a popup message in this case.
