RE: RE: Can't reopen file created with ver 0.9.1 onRedHat 8.0 - fix!

Hi Alan,

>From memory, that's about it.  In the process of trying to create a new project, saving and re-loading it, I found and cleared all the permission related problems.  So, I would say that if you can perform that sequence of operations you're in the clear.  I guess you could always re-install with the umask set at 002...

The only nasty little bug I found is that 'durations' aren't saved, so it's probably best to only use 'work' to define task period lengths.  (Looking in Bugzilla this problem appears to be fixed in the latest versions, but as yet, I haven't managed to comlete a build of the Gnome2 development environment, so I can't build MrProject from source, so I can't confirm it's fixed.)

As a precaution against such buglets, it's probably a good idea to keep a series of versions of project files you can return to, and to re-load reasonably frequently to be sure what you're seeing has been successfuly saved.

Cheers,

Frank
