9067: New log system eats logs
Reported by bbyer | April 29th, 2008 @ 08:32 PM | in 1.2.2
Opening an old-style logfile (lnkData) causes Linkinus to delete it and replace it with a zero-byte file. Probably easiest to demonstrate:
$ cp proof.lnkData proof.lnkData.orig
$ ls -l proof.lnk*
-rw-r--r-- 1 bbyer staff 5012 Apr 29 11:28 proof.lnkData.orig
-rw-r--r-- 1 bbyer staff 5012 Apr 29 11:28 proof.lnkData
$ open proof.lnkData
(blank window)
$ ls -l proof.lnk*
-rw-r--r-- 1 bbyer staff 5012 Apr 29 11:28 proof.lnkData.orig
-rw-r--r--@ 1 bbyer staff 0 Apr 29 11:28 proof.lnkLog
After closing and reopening the program, I wasn't able to reproduce the 0-byte output -- but it'd be nice to not delete the lnkData file at all to prevent this from becoming a problem (thank you, Time Machine!).
