Summary0000388: A warning is missing from a procedure that can ruin work time and even cause data loss
DescriptionI describe what happened to me days ago
I was mounting a video in Cinelerra and I needed to load a new clip, I pressed the letter "o" to open the loading assistant, and when I loaded the file I forgot to activate the option "Create new resources only" and I gave ok having the "Replace current project" option activated.

What happened is that the project I was working on closed, with a lot of changes without saving and a new project was opened with the clip I loaded.

I resisted wasting my work time and I tried to press "z" to undo this error, and it worked, it went back ... but here comes the worst, I hurried to save the work, but something very serious happened, I don't know I saved over the xml that I was working with, but it rewritten the xml file over the video clip in .mp4, and this video was lost ... this seemed very serious to me.

My question is, to avoid these scares, is it possible that in this situation, if you have a project with changes without saving, a warning would appear indicating that the project is going to close and load the clip as a new project and that we have changes without save? This warning could have three options, continue without saving, save and continue, or cancel this process. And in case of using z to undo this change, the project should be reloaded on its corresponding xml.

Any situation that may lead to loss of files is considered serious.

If you don't understand what I mean, I can make a video reproducing the steps.
Steps To Reproduce1. Working in a project load a new video clip with the option "Replace current project" activated
2. Press "z" to undo this change
3. Press "s" to save
The result is that the video clip is overwritten with the information in the project's .xml.
Additional InformationIt would not be a bad idea to separate the wizards, with the options of uploading files on a project, one for this purpose, and another wizard to open the projects or start them. Make them separate windows, to avoid mistakes. Or in the event of the aforementioned, then make the warning that I mentioned above.

Not sure why this was not closed awhile back. Am marking Resolved (because Andrea prefers it to be marked Resolved so he can see it and then Closed a few days later).

We also have the Autosave feature now as referred to in Note 2888 but that is a different problem.

@RafaMar -- thank you for taking time to test and report back.

An interesting news story just published 10 hours ago -- "Another Windows 10 update is causing serious problems, reducing performance, crashing ... But perhaps the most worrying side effect of a successful installation of the KB4549951 update is the deletion or moving of files and settings. A number of users complain that after installing the update, their settings have been wiped out, personal files have been moved to the Recycle Bin, or simply deleted all together."

Microsoft has yet to acknowledge these issues.

My sincere congratulations @PhyllisSmith. This issue is resolved. Thank you.
I also apologize for commenting on this in the Vectorscope entry, but it seemed very important to me to fix this, and it seemed that this issue had been forgotten. I also felt bad because this event had happened to me again.
The important thing is that it is now fixed. Thank you.
I still think that a notice in the project situation without saving and start a new project in this way, option to "Save and continue" or "Cancel this step". But this is no longer important, it is just a small improvement that has occurred to me, but I, not knowing how to program, do not know if it is possible.
Also thank you very much @IgorBeg for your interest in this matter and also for your kindness.

@RafaMar
I am trying to keep up but am falling way behind. We finally had a chance to make a Mint 19.3 static test tar that was correct that contains the devastating bug fix. I do not know why it was short and only 22MB. We tested this new one this time and it is 58MB so the network copied it over just fine.
  https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing/cinelerra-5.1-mint19-x86_64-static.txz

Still working on resolving this issue though in a way that will hopefully work for everyone.

I have complete confidence in the Cinelerra team.
I know that in the next version it will be fixed.
You don't have to waste time with a trial version, I don't want to give you extra work.
Thank you very much @IgorBeg for all your support.

It not depends by your OS. I think that TXZ file for you is incomplete.
Usually the file size is around 60MB. The special TXZ build for you is around 21MB.
I downloaded it and unfortunately there aren't some folders/files there.
Could you waiting for a new TXZ for you by @PhyllisSmith and GG if She have a few of time to do a new static build for you, please? (I think she reads this in about 2 hours from now)

Yes, I am in mailing list and sometimes read by link

Thank you very much @IgorBeg. I saw the video this morning on the youtube channel.
But as much as I follow the steps, this version does not start on my system.
If you have followed the steps and you are doing well. I'm sure they fixed it.
I take this opportunity to ask you if you are subscribed to the mailing list, put the fonts of cinelerra graphics there, but you can download them from here if you wish.

RafaMar, look at my video at
http://www.visi1.org/cinelerra-gg_tutorials#DownloadAndFirstRun
Start from 1'01".

I hope that Mint uses the same procedure.

Waiting for RafaMar test and feedback with the Mint version...
From https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/bugtracker/view.php?id=71#c3232
"GG is creating a test static build for Mint 19.3... "
https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing/cinelerra-5.1-mint19-x86_64-static.txz

I tested it following the RafaMar's Steps with Cin version by git
--> Tue, 21 Apr 2020 03:00:51 +0200 (19:00 -0600).
For me it works fine, now. (OS: UbuntuStudio_16.04_LTS_64bit)

@IgorBeg, thanks so much for replying. I have quoted you because you told me that I had gone off topic in the vectorscope issue. Simply, when I saw that you asked for my opinion, this error seemed more important to me than the Vectorscope.
I'm glad to know that it will never happen to you, but if it happens to any of my readers I will feel bad.
From what I read, from @PhyllisSmith, the problem will be solved. For this reason I continue with the idea of continuing to write tutorials and collaborate in what I can.
Yesterday I had a bad day with Cinelerra and I felt bad, because this problem was already reported.
And the most important. I have not the slightest complaint from any of the people I am dealing with in the Cinelerra environment. Rather the opposite.
Greetings and I reiterate my thanks for dedicating your time to answer me.

Don't worry @RafaMar.
There are some thing I have to say and maybe you always know.
I am not a developer, I am only an user. When you open a ticket, an User don't see your ticket by email. He can see it by browser. If you write a Note with my name then an email sended to me.
If I can, and I have a few of time, I try your Step To Reproduce and I can confirm or less. Other users do the same for me.
Losing a video is not a good think. I am so sorry for this bug.
Unfortunately or fortunately, my workflow is different by your. I never used your 3 steps.
I think that developers (GG and Phyllis) do everything they can, but they are not Adobe Premier, LWKS, Avid, or Blackmagic Design team.

@IgorBeg my sincere apologies for having changed the subject in the vectorscope issue.
Also sorry for answering you around here, it seemed more appropriate to me here, than to keep getting off the topic in the vectorscope issue.
I know that it is not justification, but on 2020-03-12 I opened this issue about a problem that seemed serious to me, you are in it, but this one seemed to fall into the chest of oblivion. And nothing was done about it.
Perhaps my mistake has been that every time I have had the opportunity to expose this problem, I have done so. It seemed important to me. Having a good Vectorscope is also good, but on my scale of values, the one
Cinelerra can cause the destruction of a video in such an absurd way seemed even more important to me.
I reiterate my apologies and I am glad that it seems that a solution is going to be given to the issue.
I am very sorry to have changed your subject in the vectorscope, I felt bad yesterday for losing a video clip again. And someone quoted me and I explained the reason why I wasn't paying much attention to the issue.

Anyway a warning in the situation I indicate would be something that many new users would appreciate.
As I always say, I don't know programming, maybe I'm saying nonsense.

We have been discussing the possibility of an Autosave feature as requested in BT # 275, item 9. However, there is a little known feature, emergency saved backup BUT it has to be used right away after a mistake. It is documented in the manual but I can see it needs clarification there.

There is still 1 more backup that may save you. If for some reason you forgot to use "Load backup" immediately when restarting or you did a Load with "replace current project" in your current session, you have a second chance to use File → Load and select $HOME/.bcast5/backup.prev as long as you only loaded a different file and have performed no editing operations.
