[Qgis-developer] autosave bugs

[Barry Rowlingson]

Hi All,

 I've just had a couple of problems with my Autosave plugin: first I
had a report that it was throwing an exception, something I think was
down to my poor character handling (ie I too much str() when there's
unicode flying around).

 The other problem is Autosave seems to crash Qgis with a segfault. No
warnings, just *bang* and the Qgis is gone. This started happening to
me after upgrading to Qgis 1.5 today (on Ubuntu Karmic).

 So if anyone reports seemingly random crashes (because it happens
whenever Autosave happens to kick in and tries to save) check they
aint running Autosave.

 And if anyone wants to fix either of these problems, code is on
bsrplugins on google code! I might have a go at it when a) I get some
time and b) I get a new machine at home (it didn't like me being away
for three weeks and is now sulking, refusing to stay up for more than
5 mins).

Barry
