Hans, I mentioned this bug because fixing it implied that I was obliged to overwrite the existing file to keep the same access rights. And I may have not the means to create in the same directory a backup file with the same access rights, and I may even have no right to create a new file in that directory...

Emmanuel,

I live with the idea that "if I can think of it, it must be easy to make". Can you imagine how nice it is to be totally ignorant? I can, and I love it. But to be honest, I'm also aware of the fact that not everybody agrees with my point of view. Well... it's not Xmas yet... :-)

What about an auto save like this:

Every x minutes the current (modified) project is saved into a special file beside the project file (e.g. called {file name} + "~"). As long as the responsible timer is using the Swing-Thread, no side effects should occur, since afaik all modification is done in that thread.
When you close or save a project, that autosave file is deleted.
On opening a project where an autosave file exists, the program offers to open that file instead of the old one.

I know, that wouldn't help loading files destroyed by the save procedure, but at least crashed projects could be recreated.
